The Bexar Area Agency on Aging is offering support groups
for grandparents or older relatives who are raising children under the age of
18. The groups offer open discussions, guest speakers who focus on issues
affecting grandparents or other relatives who are raising children, information
on resources available in the community, and advocacy. Grandparents and
kinship caregivers can share with one another their knowledge, strengths, and
hopes. Transportation and childcare can be provided for Grandparents and
Kinship Caregivers 60 years and older upon request. For more information about
transportation and childcare, contact Nellie Garay at (210) 362-5271.
