WVU Medicine and Healthy Grandfamilies

Two Programs combined to Support Families in Our Community

Community Partners West Virginia State University and WVU Medicine Potomac Valley
Hospital invite you to join us.


Families Strong WV
Substances use issues impact the whole family. Family and friends of individuals using substances need support, too. If his resonates with you, come find your tribe by joining Families Strong WV.  Families Strong WV is an 8-week support group for West Virginians who have loved ones – whether family members or friends – who use substances. Join us to get tools and techniques to help make you and your family stronger.

Healthy Grandfamilies
West Virginia ranks second in the nation in the number of grandfamily households. Grandparents will learn how to manage the changing family dynamics, how to navigate the school and legal systems, the benefits and pitfalls of technology and social media, and how to practice self-care to name a few of the topics. Grandfamilies will also receive individual case management services to address individual needs.
