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. |
