How does it work?

TXGRG Support Groups are free to join and a great place to connect with other grandparents who are raising their grandchildren.  We also take time to discuss relevant topics to those on a grandparenting journey.  Each Support Group is facilitated by a knowledgeable member of the Texas Grandparents Raising Grandchildren team! 

Benefits of Joining a TXGRG Support Group: 

When Grandparents Raising their Grandchildren (GRG) share their personal experiences in a safe setting, they gain hope and develop supportive relationships. The experience encourages empathy, productive discussion and a sense of community. It reinforces resiliency.

Support Group participation helps GRG to:

• Know they are not alone.

• Share their personal stories, frustrations, fears and joys.

• Develop better coping skills.

• Find their self-empowering voice.

• Cultivate strength by sharing their life experiences.

• Embrace humor to promote positive mental health.

• Accept that some problems cannot be solved.

Some benefits gained through support group participation, as identified by GRG, are that they learn to:

• Better understand how to find resources.

• Appreciate the opportunity to have adult conversations with other GRG, without the presence of their grandchildren.

• Share practical information/advice with other GRG.

• Enjoy learning together.

• Promote resilience through spirituality.
