We have two active programs for grandparents or any other kinship provider. Our groups meet weekly. They are free of charge and include free childcare during group session. Our programs are professionally facilitated and our focus is to provide support and education to anyone in the position of raising a family for the second time. We offer advice and resources in an informal setting.
