Our Services
Are you a grandparent of a new baby up to 1 year old? JF&CS is offering a new support group for you!
Becoming a grandparent is a big milestone and stepping into this new role can bring both excitement and uncertainty. How can we be supportive without overstepping? Curious without being judgmental? What has changed in parenting since we raised our own children and what has remained the same?
JF&CS is offering a new, free support group for grandparents living in Massachusetts. This facilitated group provides a safe, supportive space to ask questions, share ideas and strategies, and connect with others who are on a similar journey. Discussion topics may include providing nonjudgmental support, setting healthy boundaries, connecting with your grandchild, exploring your evolving identity as a grandparent and understanding current parenting trends and practices.
When: 1st and 3rd Thursdays, 4:00 - 5:00 p.m.
Where: Online, via Zoom video conferencing.
To learn more, contact Leslie Pucker at lpucker@jfcsboston.org.
Please note: This group is intended for grandparents who are not serving as primary caregivers for their grandchildren. Also, as long as you have at least one grandchild under one, you are welcome to attend!
All of our groups and services are nonsectarian.
