Webinar: Understanding & Working Effectively with Grandparents

Date
16 October 2019
Host organization
National Family Support Network

Across the country, grandparents are caring for their grandchildren in increasing numbers. Family Resource Centers, which work with families in a multigenerational approach, have developed intentional programming to ensure that these grandparents are supported and strengthened.

ZERO TO THREE, a national organization whose mission is to ensure that all babies and toddlers have a strong start in life, conducted a national survey of grandparents who regularly provide care to children aged 5 and under. ZTT has also developed the Grandparent Resource Center, the Grandparents Who Care Literature Review and a partner toolkit to share grandparenting resources.

This webinar will present the research findings about grandparents, highlight work with grandparents from a Family Resource Center within a NFSN Member Network, and share resources available for multigenerational families and the professionals who support them.
