More than 76,000 grandparents in Tennessee are responsible for their grandchildren.

In 2023, more than 2 million U.S. grandparents were responsible for their grandchildren. These circumstances are often born of tragedy, and research shows that children who cannot remain with their parents do best when placed in the care of a loving relative. Yet grandparents are frequently unprepared for the challenges ahead and need ongoing support.
