Support for Grandparents Raising Grandchildren

Support for grandparents raising grandchildren involves services and resources that help them navigate the challenges of caregiving. This includes access to financial assistance, counseling, legal advice, and respite care, which temporarily relieves caregivers. Programs may also offer peer support groups and educational workshops to build skills and reduce isolation. These supports aim to ensure grandparents can provide stable, nurturing environments while maintaining their well-being, acknowledging the unique emotional and practical needs involved in raising grandchildren outside of their typical role.
