The Relatives as Parent Program RAPP serves relatives, mainly grandparents, age 55 or older who are raising children that are not their own. This program provides support groups and respite activities to caregivers in Onondaga County. Participants can access conversation, support, and assistance at the “coffee and conversation” meetings every other Thursday, or Friday as appropriate, of the month.
