Grandparents Raising Grandchildren

Grandparents raising grandchildren refers to situations where grandparents take on the primary caregiving role for their grandchildren, often due to the parents' inability to do so—whether due to issues like addiction, mental health problems, financial instability, or even death. This arrangement can create strong family bonds but also presents challenges, including financial strain, emotional stress, and adjustment to modern parenting demands. Support systems and resources, such as community programs or counseling, can be crucial for both the grandparents and grandchildren to navigate this significant life change effectively.
