The Guided Assistance Program (GAP) provides personalized support and referrals for women and families facing difficult life challenges. The Center’s Referral Navigators work to directly connect participants to community resources spanning crisis services, social services, mental health, financial and legal services. Through GAP, a participant learns how to outline her personal or family needs and to create an action plan. GAP is a unique service, not offered at any other organization on the Shoreline. We accept anyone that walks through our door, regardless of income or location. We assist many families that would otherwise have no place to turn for help. Contact us for immediate assistance or more information.
Information is power! The Adapt Divorce Process Workshop provides a comprehensive overview of divorce to help you acquire the tools you need to make the best choices for you and your family. An expert in divorce and family law guides you through the different types of divorce, paperwork to collect, questions to ask, and how the courts are operating during the pandemic. Empowered with this knowledge, you can more confidently navigate this major life change. We offer this workshop regularly via Zoom.
