Caregiving can be a rewarding but sometimes challenging experience.

PFLAG and SAGE Supporting Your LGBTQ+ Grandchild
Grandparents play an important role in the lives of their grandchildren, serving as a soft spot to land during difficult times.

This booklet is designed to help answer questions you may have and direct you to additional resources.
