Grandparents Raising Grandchildren - Española

  • Arts Council 1 Calle de las Españolas Española, NM, 87532 United States (map)

The Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Program provides support, resources, and discussion topics to foster the growth and well-being of grandparents who are the primary caregivers to their grandchildren in Rio Arriba, Santa Fe, and Taos counties

A light dinner is provided and an RSVP is required to attend. This meeting is in person.

PRESENTER:  TASHA NELSON from Tewa Roots. She will talk to us about C.R.A.F.T., a program for people to help loved ones and friends seek recovery from substance dependence and stay with it. Tasha will bring this program to Espanola if there is interest.

Research has shown that seven out of ten family members who participate in the CRAFT program are successful in engaging their loved one into a treatment program. 

CRAFT can help you:

1.    Reduce harmful substance use within the family.

2.    Encourage the person struggling with a substance use disorder to find and start treatment. If they're already in treatment, you can learn how to encourage them to stay engaged in their treatment program.

3.    Improve your own life through learning positive communication strategies and how to set healthy boundaries.
