Grandparents raising their grandchildren has been a rising trend for the past decade. For many, although they love their grandchildren, it is a tiring task. They pitch in when the grandchildren’s parents can’t.

Are you being asked to step up and raise your grandchildren when their parents are no longer able to do so? The reasons vary, but often it’s because of the parent’s issues around addiction, financial stress, job loss, divorce, violence, or mental health concerns.

Older adults have raised their own children and are often trying to enjoy their elder years. Homes may no longer easily accommodate additional people.  Grandparents may need additional support themselves. Your family can come together for the safety and support of the children and relatives.

Discover how to strengthen the children’s lives, and your own.  County social workers, or other social services can sometimes help. Other times social services aren’t available or involved. Family Group Decision Making meetings may be able to help your family.
