A Family's Journey to Healing

Liz's family faced unimaginable challenges during their divorce. As a stay-at-home mom, Liz felt lost and overwhelmed, blaming herself for the pain she thought she was causing her children.

But with NFRC's support, everything changed.

Through customized Parenting Plans, counseling, and therapy for her children, Liz found the tools she needed to create a positive future. With NFRC's guidance, her family worked through the transition together, keeping the focus on what mattered most—their children's well-being.

Today, Liz's children are thriving, and she and her former husband maintain a healthy, collaborative relationship.

Stories of Strength and Resilience

  • “Seeing through the difficulties of divorce and realizing that what matters most is not just the individual, but the family unit in this new form – well, NFRC did that for us, and my gratitude is eternal.”

  • “NFRC is one of the touchstones in my life that reminds me that all of what’s best for me is best for my daughter. It was not only a place that helped my family, but a place that taught me how to take good care of myself.”
