Grandparents Raising Grandchildren

This video introduces a course designed for grandparents and other relatives raising children, such as aunts, uncles, friends, or neighbors. Presented by Lori Padilla, a licensed counselor and grandparent.

In this course we’re going to cover:

  • What happens when you receive the child or the child comes into your home.
  • How do you keep that child safe?
  • How do you interact with the community around you?
  • How do you ask for resources? Can you ask for resources?
  • What resources are there? Where can you get support?
  • Are there other people like you?
  • And then, how you can also be an advocate for yourself and your child.

The course is supported by a grant from the U.S. Department of Education called Helping Helpers Help.
