“The program has provided assistance to older relatives who are raising children for some time, not necessarily grandparents only,” Clark says. “It is important that we raise awareness in our communities that the program can be used by all types of older relatives who are raising children. It is very important to get the message out to older adult caregivers that help is available.” *** To enroll in PCA’s Caregiver Support Program (CSP), please contact Cheryl Clark at 215-765-9000, ext. 5300 or email cheryl.clark@pcaCares.org.
