Step Up Parents Featured in Parable Magazine Cover Story

Step Up Parents was humbled to be featured in a moving article in Parable Magazine, the magazine of the Diocese of Manchester, highlighting the stories of three NH kinship families we have assisted over the past three years.

Lauren and Joseph Rollins, Elle Rogers, and Shannon Lavertu shared their powerful journeys as grandparents/aunts/uncles turned kinship caregivers.

“As a relative caregiver, you're already stigmatized,” said Shannon, who cares for two of her niece's children and two adopted boys who came from households with substance misuse. "What did you do wrong as a parent that your kids can't take care of their kids?’ Is the attitude some people have.”
