SUMMARY:KIN-VIP Support Group Grandparent's Connection
DESCRIPTION:Raising your grandchildren and parenting again later in life can be especially challenging in today’s culture.  Navigating this change in roles–moving from grandparents to being parents again–can be both confusing and difficult as you move through these family changes. \nThis group is designed to support and empower grandparents on this journey to find the resources\, community\, and connection to be successful caregivers for the children in their lives. \nNew this year for the Grandparent’s Connection group-each meeting we will supplement our conversation with a craft that we can work on together! It is not necessary to have any crafting skill-these are just fun projects to do while we spend time together! If you are not interested in the crafting\, please come for the conversation! We would love to get to know you! \nFacilitator Angel Hayes is a grandmother raising her teenage grandson who enjoys creative\, inexpensive\, and fun projects! Angel enjoys painting\, scrapbooking\, drawing\, etc. and loves to share the fun of crafting as a way to connect with others while walking the kinship journey. \nREGISTER NOW
