Ongoing Group for Grandparents and Other Relatives Parenting Again

A free, monthly educational and support group for grandparents and other relatives who are parenting again is being offered by three collaborating agencies in Milwaukee. This ongoing group entitled “Grandparents and Other Relatives Parenting Again” is offered the third Wednesday of each month from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. The group meets at the Villard Square Grandfamily Housing, 3427 W. Villard Avenue, Milwaukee.  Limited childcare is available for children under twelve years of age. Registration is required.

The “Grandparents and Other Relatives Parenting Again” group allows participants to exchange ideas, discuss their child’s growth and development, learn from one another and share their stories with others who find themselves unexpectedly in a parenting role.

To kick off the new year, a light supper will be provided for adults and children on January 18, 2012 as a “Getting to Know You” opportunity.

To register for “Grandparents and Other Relatives Parenting Again,” call the Parent Helpline at 414/671-0566. Undocumented families are welcome. If you have roadblocks to attending, please call for possible assistance.

This program is presented by The Parenting Network, Family Caregivers Support Network of Interfaith Older Adults Programs Inc. and Jewish Family Services. For more information, please visit theparentingnetwork.org.
