Grandparents / Kin raising / Grandchildren / Kin
Program Description
The program for Grandparents
and caregivers who are raising grandchildren / kin recognizes that many are doing
this at a time in their life when they
thought they though they would be retired.
Raising grandchildren is a mixed
blessing and it's difficult in this new technological world. We offer "Parenting
the 2nd Time Around", an 8 week
parenting
class offered 3 times each year including one class in Spanish. We meet from 6.00
to 7.30 PM each wednesday night and provide a light supper and free
childcare.
This gives the grandparents a much needed respite from cooking and caring for the
grandchildren.
In addition, there are monthly support meetings with speakers
appropriate for the grandparents / kin. Dinner and free childcare are provided.
Each year there is
an outing with the grandchildren which continues to strengthen
the bond between each family. The grandparents know they are not alone raising their
grandchildren and that we are here to help them.
Program Eligibility
Any grandparent / kin responsible
for the primary care of their grandchildren / kin are welcome.
