(770-538-2650)

Being a parent again is not easy.  There are many issues to deal with:

• The Legal System
  • Custody
  • Guardianship
  • Adoption
• The child’s parents
• Funds for child care
• Homework
• After school activities
• Stress
• Health Insurance
• Finding time for YOU

If you ever said I wish. . .

• I knew how to make it all work.
• I knew how to get help with some of these problems.
• I were not so stressed out.
• I knew how to help these children.
• I had someone to talk to.

You Are Not Alone

A Kinship Care Meeting is a place to stop and take a breath and try to gain control over the situation in which you find yourself.  It is a safe place to share experiences with other Grandparents and Relatives raising children; a place where you learn from each other and find out about programs for which you and the children may be eligible.  Meetings are free, no reservations required. Call 770-538-2650 to confirm meeting schedule.
