Thursday, Nov. 16 Session: Kinship Families - Grandparents Raising Grandchildren

A growing number of grandparents are now taking on the parenting role for their grandchildren, thus foregoing the traditional grandparent/grandchild relationship. This often means giving up leisure time, the option of traveling and many other aspects of your independence. What supports do you have in Chesterfield County? Join this session to learn more and meet others who may be in similar shoes!
