Relatives as Parents Program (RAPP)

Formerly Grandparents Raising Grandchildren

Relatives often step in when children need to be raised in safer, healthier enironments. The unexpected physical, emotional, financial and legal demands can be daunting.

Families First's program helps kinship families find answers to difficult questions, gain access to resources and receive support throuh a community of familmies in similar situations.

A new support group started Sept 26 and meets the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of every month at the YMCA.

The RAPP program is generously supported by:

The Brookdale Foundation, the Missoula YMCA,

the Montana State Univesity Extention and the Missoula Food Bank.
