SAN DIEGO - Nov. 29, 2017 - PRLog -- The word "divorce" opens a floodgate of emotions – most of them challenging ones, especially during the holiday season. But knowledge is power, and, even in the most difficult times, education is always a gift. Second Saturday has been providing essential legal, financial and emotional information about divorce in a safe, non-profit setting for 28 plus years, helping over 15,000 individuals to date. The three-part, professionally led workshop continues to offer vital information on all fronts, helping attendees move forward with their lives during the holidays and year-round.
Our 120 plus workshops are surveyed each month for their effectiveness: words like incredible, valuable, informative, affirming, empowering, wonderful, insightful, community, and even, yes – "a Godsend" are commonly used on the hundreds of evaluation forms reviewed monthly. Our most common words of feedback? "Thank you." And, "Second Saturday gave me hope."
At WIFE.org and Second Saturday, our greatest gift has been hearing those words and knowing that what we provide has been life-changing, for over one quarter century. Now, through a national network of 120 plus incredible workshop leaders across the country, we are grateful to reach even more individuals in need.
For Nancy Duff, leader of Second Saturday in Fairfax, Virginia, "Presenting Second Saturday has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career, as well as being heart-wrenching. There is so much work to do to support these women. We are looking forward to 2018 with some great workshops!" Leaders across the country report the same gratifying experience: When you help others, your life (and business) unfold exponentially.
Educating individuals about divorce also delivers many "blessings-in-disguise," as workshop attendees are never counseled to untie the knot – in fact, quite the opposite is true. According to Second Saturday co-founder, Ginita Wall, "At Second Saturday, we do not promote divorce: we promote education. We are especially thankful that our efforts have resulted in many couples deciding to stay married after attending our workshops."
In the truest holiday spirit, we are grateful to our 120 plus leaders around the country for continuing our mission of providing legal, financial and emotional information that offers hope and healing – throughout the year. Happy Holidays!
