Relatives as Parents Program
The Relatives as Parents Program (RAPP) is for unpaid relative caregivers who are:
- age 55 or older and
- the main caregiver for a child age 18 or younger, or an adult with disabilities
The following services are free:
- Caregiver Training and Support Groups - We offer information on training and support groups to help you with your role as a caregiver. The Family Caregiver Happenings or the Acontecimientos para Cuidadores de Familia has a listing of some of the trainings and support groups.
- Individual Counseling – This program pays for eight sessions of professional counseling directly related to caregiving.
- Access to Respite Services – Respite care provides you with a short-term break from caregiving. It lets you rest and feel less stressed. We can help you find respite care that can be provided in your home or at another location.
- Help Finding Services – Our Relatives as Parents Program worker can help you find services for your caregiving needs.
- Supplemental Services – These services are based on what you need. Examples include tutoring, driver’s education, car seats, and swimming lessons.
