The Cool Line New Haven, Connecticut The Consultation Center in New Haven has begun a new service for grandparents raising grandchildren. 3 p.m. Grandparents record their question on The Cool Line and within two days receive a response from a child development expert. The Center emphasizes that this is not an emergency number or a hotline. The one-year program provides comprehensive services to grandparents raising their grandchildren. The free services include health care, social work case management, grandparent support group meetings, parenting classes, legal assistance, and tutoring and mentoring programs for children.
Transportation is provided to meetings and childcare is also available.
After completing the full one-year program, grandparents are encouraged to continue the group activities and social events. Senior Help Line Illinois Illinois grandparents raising grandchildren can find out about all state services and support groups available to them with one phone call to the state's Senior Help Line. GrandFamilies House is user-friendly to all age groups. The building includes universal design features, like grab bars and child-safe electrical outlets. Grandparents can even keep an eye on the playground from inside the apartments.
