The Guided Assistance Program (GAP) provides personalized support and referrals for women and families facing difficult life challenges. The Center’s Referral Navigators work to directly connect participants to community resources spanning crisis services, social services, mental health, financial and legal services. Through GAP, a participant learns how to outline her personal or family needs and to create an action plan. GAP is a unique service, not offered at any other organization on the Shoreline, providing services to anyone regardless of income from any of the following 16 towns that we serve:
Branford, Chester, Clinton, Deep River, East Haven, East Lyme, Essex, Guilford, Killingworth, Lyme, Madison, North Branford, North Haven, Old Lyme, Old Saybrook and Westbrook.
Women & Family Life Center assists many families that would otherwise have no place to turn for help. Contact us for immediate assistance or more information.
Information is power! The Adapt Divorce Process Workshop is regularly scheduled to provide a comprehensive overview of divorce and to help you acquire the tools you need to make the best choices for you and your family. An expert in divorce and family law guides you through the different types of divorce, paperwork to collect, questions to ask, and how the courts are operating during the pandemic. Empowered with this knowledge, you can more confidently navigate this major life change.
