Information about Grandparents As Parents

                                          Are you or someone you know interested in meeting and being supported
                                          by others who know what you're going through.  Do you need information or
                                          help with your role as a kinship caregiver?

                                          A kinship family consists of a relative(s) providing full-time care for another
                                          family member's child(ren).  Kinship care is needed when biological parents
                                          are unable to maintain their chil(ren) in a safe, nurturing environment.

                                          Kinship care is a widespread tradition that crosses lines of race, culture,
                                          religion and income... Relatives unselfishly step forward and give their
                                          love, energy and resources to raise grandchildren, nephews, nieces, cousins
                                          and even siblings.  In so doing children maintain family values, morals and
                                          connectedness, which encourages mental and emotional stability.

                                         WE MEET THE FIRST WEDNESDAY OF THE MONTH, 11:30AM at 1931 Homedale
                                         (Tan Building) next to New Horizon Church between Shasta Way and
