Support Groups

Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Support Groups are a Lifeline

We call them “GRG Support Groups,” but for many grandparents and kin raising children, they’re so much more. These groups are a lifeline—offering emotional support and access to the information, services, and resources caregivers need to navigate complex challenges.

Whether you’re just starting your caregiving journey or have been raising your grandchild for years, support groups offer:

  • Trusted information about legal rights, school enrollment, healthcare, and more.
  • Guidance on navigating complex systems like DCF, courts, and special education.
  • Referrals to local resources and programs.
  • Emotional support and a sense of community from others who have walked in your shoes

You can join a group that meets in person in your community or take part in virtual meetings from anywhere in Massachusetts. Wherever you are, you’re not alone—and support is closer than you think.

  • In Person Meetings: LINK TO SUPPORT GROUP LOCATION INFORMATION
  • Virtual Meetings: For more information or to join the group, contact us at massgrg@mass.gov

If you are a service provider, a grandparent or a relative caregiver in a community interested in starting a support group, please contact us at massgrg@mass.gov.
