Starting this month, every second Saturday of every month we will host a seminar to make sure women have what they need to know about divorce. A future program for men is in the works. It will be titled "Third Thursdays: What Men Need to Know About Divorce."
The Second Saturday program for women was started by Ginita Wall of San Diego, California. I learned about this program while taking collaborative practice training in Virginia Beach, VA during November 2006. Along the way the challenges including finding an affordable and centralized location. Another challenge was finding experts willing to donate their time on Saturday mornings. I had the pleasure of meeting Ginita Wall during a conference in June 2006 in Las Vegas. She has graciously allowed people all over to use her program without any licensing fee.
