Second Saturday deals with the legal, financial, family and personal issues of divorce in a logical, yet compassionate way. With the guidance of trained professionals, workshop participants gain greater understanding of the confusing and challenging divorce process.
We believe the more information and support women have, the better the decisions they’ll make for themselves and their children, and the more hopeful they can be about the future.
Our mission is to provide education, support and guidance to women in this life transition, helping them move confidently towards independence.
Please tell friends, family, acquaintances and those who work with women about this important resource.
