The national videoconference, Grandparents Raising Grandchildren: Implications for Professionals and Agencies was broadcast on January 12, 1999 to almost 4,000 participants at over 275 sites in 41 states and one site in Canada. From the faxes and e-mails we have received since the program, we know that there is continuing interest.
As one response,
this website will be maintained for a while as a place for grandparents
raising grandchildren, professionals, legislators and policymakers, graduate
students and videoconference planners to share information, find answers
to questions, and learn about resources.
If you are a grandparent
looking for help from someone in your community,
check the list of
contacts in almost every state.
