Grandparents (and other relatives) raise the children of other family members at a rate that far surpasses the number of children in our current foster cares system here in BC. In fact, even the government recognizes that they are a largely hidden and unrecognized social service system. On ReThreading Madness Bernadine, a grandparent who raises a grandchild herself, speaks with three other grandmothers Donna, Gail and Shari. So often we are focused on caring for our children and advocating for their rights and needs. But today, Bernadine shines the light on the grandparents asking what did you/do you need and where are you getting it from. Out of this the importance of Parent Support Services in BC and Fairness for Children Raised by Relatives comes into focus.
