The Relatives as Parents Program (RAPP) of Children’s Aid Society provides assistance to grandparents and relatives who have become the primary caregiver for their children’s children or another relative.
The program includes a support group that offers a social network of grandparents and relatives that meets the third Monday of every month from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. at Children’s Aid Society.
