Grandparents and Relatives as Caregivers

In New Jersey and across the country, many grandparents
and relatives are providing care to children who are unable to
live with their birth parents. Parenting can be challenging as
a lot may have changed since you raised your own
child. Don’t be afraid to reach out for help. Many agencies
and organizations can offer you assistance in dealing with
problems all caregivers have. Below are just a few links to
resources that may be able to assist.
In addition, DCF provides publications about parenting and other topics of interest to
