For 34 years, the nonprofit Divorce Center has helped men and women get tools they need to make wise decisions about the legalities, the finances, themselves and their families. That’s because it’s an organization of professionals in specialty areas who care strongly about what they do to support people in divorce. The workshops are run by:
- Counselors
- Divorce Financial Analysts
- Mediators
- Attorneys
- Social Workers
“When you are facing the prospect of divorce, we recognize how daunting and overwhelming it is,” said Diane Pappas of Gloucester, the organization’s co-president. “Attending our Divorce Matters workshop gives people the critical information they need to make informed decisions, have peace of mind and feel more in control of their futures and in the outcome of their divorce."
