Guidebook for Grandparents Raising Grandchildren
Posted on:

the Press Release.
The Grandparents As Parents (GAP) program received a generous grant from the Trinity Foundation to produce a guidebook designed especially for grandparents who are raising their grandchildren. This guidebook serves as a valuable resource for those who are parenting for the second time.
This book is now available at the CAC Office on Aging, O’Connor Senior Center and other community locations. If you or someone you know would like to have a copy of the guidebook, or if you would like more information about the program, call
Tracy Van de Vate
at 865-524-2786.
The GAP program reports that more grandparents and other relative caregivers are finding themselves becoming the sole caretakers of grandchildren whose parents are incarcerated or otherwise cannot maintain custody of their children. This free book provides information and resources a grandparent needs to know, and addresses the subjects of child care, education, health, custody and legal issues, technology, and other important information.
GAP also offers monthly informational and supportive meetings made up of people who understand what it is like to parent a second time.
Grandparents as Parents is a program of the CAC Office on Aging. Learn more about GAP and the CAC Office on Aging at
