The Great Reconnection: Raising Grandchildren

In this episode, we discuss the importance of building connections and supporting older adults who are caring for children. We interviewed Sheree Stillwell, a grandparent raising a grandson and also a co-facilitator of a local support group for grandparents raising children. Additionally, she participates in State Representative Natalie Manley's Legislative Committee on Grandparents Raising Grandchildren. Sheree provided us with a firsthand look at the experience of grandparents who are stepping in and parenting again.
The Grandparents Raising Grandchildren support group meets in-person on the Third Tuesday of the Month September-May in Will County.
