Grandparent Parenting Again Support Program is dedicated to assisting grandparents parenting again with developing a respite plan and accessing respite services that address their unique needs.
Support groups are available in Barrie, Bradford, Orillia and Midland. Support Groups provide a safe and confidential environment where grandparents can create relationships with others who understand and have lived experience in similar situations. Support groups provide a place where grandparents can build on skills, resource share and network to build a community of support.
Until now, many grandparents have been managing these challenges alone and with very limited resources and respite options.
