West Virginia Relatives as Parents Program (RAPP)

Description:

In West Virginia, 28,000 children are being raised by a grandparent or other relative. The challenges of being a "relative parent" can turn life upside down. Relatives raising children have many questions regarding custody, adoption, guardianship, etc. Groups for relatives raising children (RAPP) are forming across the state. RAPP groups can provide information on legal issues, community resources, and coping skills. The RAPP group is a safe place where stories, feelings and concerns can be shared with people in similar situations and to find solutions to common problems.
