GIDs (or 'Grandparents in Distress') is a national support service for grandparents doing it tough in relation to family breakdown; their own or their children's relationships. 

Suport is free, confidential, grandparent friendly and non judgemental. 

The things grandparents speak to us most about include:

• Separation and divorce - their own or their children's

• Custody and contact issues - typically, grandchildren

• Parental alienation

• Financial problems

• Family and criminal Legal issues

• Communication difficulties

• Domestic violence

If you have any questions, call us on 1300 853437. 1300 853 437.
