Custodial Grandparents
Captions available
The idea
Custodial grandparents, raising grandchildren without the parents present, show poorer physical and emotional well-being, isolation, and sometimes shame or guilt about the circumstances.
In practice
A sixty-year-old raising two grandchildren after their parents' addiction, with support from a kinship-care group.
Where people slip
Social support, resilience and resourcefulness protect custodial grandparents' well-being.
