Support for grandparents
The new Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Support Line and e-mail support will provide help and information to grandparents or other relatives raising a family member’s child.
Advocates will help people understand their rights, obligations and options prior to and after assuming responsibility for raising a family member’s child.
Staff will also ensure that callers are aware of all benefits, supports and resources available to them - and how to access them.
