Grandparent Caregivers Support Groups - This year our Grandparent Caregivers Project held meetings and workshops at six public school sites where sixty grandparents participated. Our meetings are held twice a month at each site, with four events supported by the Brooklyn Grandparents Coalition.
Infant Mortality Reduction Initiative - In all of New York City, the community of Fort Greene has the highest rate of deaths in babies before their first birthday. It’s been determined that a lack of the right information is the largest contributor to this situation. In a project funded by the New York City Department of Health, the SNAP is working in coalition with the Brooklyn Task Force on Infant Mortality Reduction in an effort to battle these circumstances by providing outreach, case management, informational workshops and referrals to residents about parenting, health care and other crucial services.
