Assignment
Use your chapter readings and use the Library to research peer-reviewed studies to respond to the following:
In Chapter 9 you learned the unique characteristics of children being raised by a grandparent or by both grandparents.

• Discover interventions when working with grand families and explain how these interventions assist these families.
• Prepare an action plan assisting children living with grandparents.
• Prepare an action plan assisting the grandparent(s) raising grandchildren.
• Identify and evaluate two interventions that are presently in society to assist groups that are at risk for a decrease in healthy functioning.
