Seniority: Resources for grandparents

Finding joy in turmoil
The number of grandparents raising their grandchildren is growing. A statewide support network based in the Tampa Bay area helps those caregivers with the difficulties of being parents again.

Grandparents: Living examples for children
Perhaps at no other time have grandparents been so vital to our society. Their roles will become more important as they step into positions of part-time and full-time caregivers.

For grandparents raising their grandchildren, or who are seeking legal custody, or for grandparents who are just lending a helping hand, these organizations offer resources to help make the effort easier.
