Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Online Support

Colorado Kinship Support Contacts

Relative caregivers and the children they raise are at risk for personal, interpersonal, and economic consequences. The complexity and diversity of their situations may prevent them from accessing and receiving services. As a result, several counties in Colorado have available the services of a professional to assist grandfamilies in accessing services and resources. These professionals serve as a navigator, researching and assisting families in matching their needs to current resources.
