Support Groups for Grandparents and Other Relatives Raising Children
Grandparents are raising their grandchildren in record numbers. SOWN brings grandparent caregivers together in both community based and telephone support groups. SOWN augments these groups with one-on-one counseling, training, problem-solving, and educational programs. SOWN helps grandparent caregivers raising children to continue in their role and keep families together by providing a strong safety net.
"When I first came to SOWN, I was angry all the time, depressed and crying. I have been faithfully attending the Grandparent support group for three months and have come to understand that while I don't want this job, I know I'm not alone and I'm no longer angry. Instead, I'm learning to be a better grandparent."
