HELENA â The Montana Area Agencies on Aging Association (M4A) are currently conducting a survey in Lewis and Clark County to interview grandparents who are raising their grandchildren due to their children battling addiction.
The survey started in April of 2021 and will continue for 18 months.
M4A partnered with the Montana Department of Health and Human Services and Adult Protective Services on the project. It also includes out-of-state partners like the University of Illinois and Purdue University.
According to Montana State University, more than 13,000 children are living with their grandparents in the Treasure State. Some of the reasons that their grandparents are raising more children are connected to the opioid crisis.
