Are you raising a family for the Second Time Around?

You’re Not Alone!

Second Time Around

A Support Group for Grandparents and Family Caregivers Raising Children

Across the country, more and more grandparents and family members are serving as the main caregiver for their grandchildren, nieces and nephews and siblings.

Our circumstances are as varied as our families, but we all share a common concern-to provide the best possible care for our grandchildren and family members.

That is why we started “Second Time Around,” a support group for grandparents and other relatives raising children.

You may be experiencing many different feelings about the overwhelming changes taking place in your life, and you probably have a lot of questions.

Talking with others in a similar situation can help you find the answers to your questions and help you deal with the unique emotions you face.
