This mini-series focuses on how older adults raising grandchildren can learn and understand the generational differences in the many facets of life they will endure together, as well as provide insight for those professionals providing support services.

This project will allow professional staff and other stakeholders to learn and use personal experiences to enhance the development of youth. The focus for the presentations will be from the lens of how older adults raising grandchildren can learn new techniques and understand the generational differences in many facets of life they will endure together. This work will help support potential services to families by additional skills being shared with their service providers and other professional team members.
