In Arizona, the number of grandparents stepping in to raise their grandchildren is climbing, a result of various societal issues including substance abuse, incarceration, and mental health struggles. The non-profit organization Duet, based in Phoenix, offers a lifeline to over 64,000 grandfamily caregivers across the state, as reported by ABC15. Patricia Dominguez, the Director of Kinship Care Services at Duet, told ABC15, “Because of these challenges, grandparents just feel alone. They feel overwhelmed. A lot of them are heartbroken because you know, their adult child has gone wayward and every family, every parent wants their child to be responsible.”
