Raising a grandchild can be a challenging task but a non-profit organization provides support in many ways.

There are more than 60,000 grandparents in Arizona who are raising their grandchildren, according to the local non-profit Duet. Adults taking care of their grandchildren can participate in free support groups in real time over Zoom, as well as virtual workshops and engage in BINGO Night, Pictionary games and Family Movie Night year-round through Duet. The non-profit also provides legal guidance and help, funds for activities, information, outings and guided assistance to grandparents.

Duet’s staff members also offer resource help and other guidance over the phone. To learn more, visit duetaz.org/grandparents-raising-grandchildren or call 602-274-5022.
