GRANDS Support Group Meeting In Syracuse
Grandparents who are raising their grandchildren or are playing an active role in the day to day care of their grandchildren or great grandchildren are rising in number. More than 2.5 million grandparents in the USA are taking on this role. Wawasee Community Schools has many families that are a part of these changing demographics as well.
Wawasee Community Schools is currently developing a support group to provide a place in which participants can join together in a warm, nonjudgemental atmosphere to share information and discuss concerns. In addition, the goal is to promote fellowship, dispel the sense of isolation, give support and encouragement, share coping strategies, and exchange ideas and resources.
The first meeting of the Grandparents Raising Grandchildren (GRANDS) support group will be from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday, April 22, at Syracuse Community Center. Refreshments will be served.
Anyone who is raising or playing an active role in the day to day care of grandchildren is welcome to attend. Questions or those interested in supporting the group in any way, should be directed to Cindy Brady at [email protected] or at 574-457-4484 ext. 6901.
