Helplines
HelpAge launched its first Helpline in Chennai in 2004, after providing support to a Helpline run in Bangalore a year before. HelpAge today has Helplines running across the country.
These Helplines are used to address problems of elders such as isolation, neglect, facilitate emergency responses, provide information on access to various elderly schemes and provides linkages with the government, police and referral rescue & relief services along with offering counseling services to help elderly in distress. Some Helplines have tied up with local shelters to provide much needed assistance to elders in need of care and protection.
