The SAISD Grand Familia

 

What is the SAISD Grand Familia?

SAISD in partnership with Texas Grandparents Raising Grandchildren have joined together to launch the SAISD Grand Familia!

The SAISD Grand Familia are support groups located along the 4 corners of the district that provide resource services to families who are caretakers of children as well as formal and informal placements with a special focus on grandparenting.

The support group will raise awareness of community resources, provide grandparenting and kinship education, program/social service agency awareness, and identify opportunities for families to network and build community. One on one case management services will be provided to individuals who are grandparents/kinship and need additional support to manage the complexities of systems.
