In this episode, Emma Case, Planning and Advocacy Specialist at the Senior Alliance, talks to Chelsi Rhoades, Public Policy and Advocacy Coordinator at Generations United, a national nonprofit group that helps support grandfamilies and kinship families. They talk about what a grand family or a kinship family is, and how Generations United works to bring generations together instead of isolating them. In the United States there are more than 8 million children living in households that are headed by grand-parents, and Chelsi explains what the needs are for those families and how Generations United helps to support them. They also talk about the advocacy work that is needed for grandfamilies and kinship families, and how you can get involved to help in your community. Great information!
