Comments: Catholic Charities runs the Grandparents as Parents (GAP) support group, which provides education, resources, and peer support for older relative caregivers. The program offers Monthly support group meetings (often called “Grandparents as Parents”) where grandparents raising grandchildren can share experiences and learn about community resources in areas like childcare, legal custody, and child development. In addition, Catholic Charities can assist kinship families with counseling, emergency needs (like clothing or school supplies for the children), and navigation of social services. (Note: Catholic Charities’ main Norfolk Care Center is on Pickett Rd, though GAP meetings may also occur at other regional offices.)
