GrandPEAS

Raising grandchildren is often unexpected and can be very challenging.  There are many legal, financial, ethical and emotional difficulties faced by grandparents in the role of primary parent.  Most grandparents have lots of love to share and a real desire to help their grandchildren but may feel alone and isolated.  The GrandPEAS program is for grandparents and other relatives raising a grandchild or providing significant time and energy into raising a child.  Come to learn more and find some support from other grandparents who are raising their grandchildren.
