Raising the Children of the Opioid Epidemic: Solutions and Supports for Grandfamilies
This report from Generations United offers recommendations to help guide the development of supportive federal and state policies and services for grandfamilies. They include:
- Reforming federal child welfare to prevent children from entering or re-entering foster care
- Ensuring children in foster care are placed with families, prioritizing placements with relatives when possible and providing the supports they need to care for the children
- Making sure grandfamilies get the full range of legal and financial options, information, assistance and support they need to help the children thrive
