What is the ParentLink WarmLine?
ParentLink’s WarmLine is parent and guardian's direct access to family strengthening information and support:
Visit with professionals who can assist you in thinking through solutions to your parenting concerns. WarmLine professionals have their Masters Degrees in human service fields such as Human Development and Family Studies, Social Work, and Education and Counseling Psychology.
Access sound parenting information. ParentLink’s loan library has over 1,000 different titles of parenting materials such as books, curricula and DVDs.
Obtain community service and other resource information.
Family Support Specialists offer problem-solving support, research-based information, and referrals to services. In areas of the state where we have funding to do so, we also offer follow-up calls to ensure that families get connected with needed resources. During follow-up we help families problem-solve any barriers to accessing services and provide additional information and referrals as needed.
