Our Mission
Helping individuals navigate and overcome the challenges of separation and divorce by providing access to legal and financial information, support networks and professional resources.
Our Vision
All people can confidently navigate the process of family breakdown, separation and divorce.
Our Model
The Lilac Tree offers six unique programs:
Information Sessions: During a 1:1 meeting with one of our Lilac Tree Divorce Counselors, individuals contemplating or at the beginning stages of separation or divorce receive guidance to help them understand the process, the legal, financial and emotional considerations involved in separation and/or divorce and more. The meeting is personalized, private, and confidential.
Divorce University™: The Lilac Tree offers a Divorce University™ Online Library with a mix of workshops, seminars, videos and live webinars, as well as annually a Divorce University™ Conference - a 2-day virtual conference. Both program formats are designed to educate and empower individuals on a variety of legal, financial, therapeutic and self-help topics. Presenters are renowned qualified experts in their field who volunteer their time for The Lilac Tree.
Support Groups: Licensed Clinical Social Workers lead 4-, 6-, or 8-week groups in a therapeutic, compassionate and supportive environment. Groups serve to connect individuals facing similar challenges to share their experiences and learn from each other. Pop-Up Support Groups are one time meetings based on a topic or stage of the process.
Referral Program: The Lilac Tree maintains a vetted registry of attorneys, mediators, collaborative practitioners, therapists, financial planners, social service providers and more. Referrals are made free of charge.
FREE Fridays - Ask a Family Lawyer: On most Friday mornings (except around Holidays) The Lilac Tree offers a free call-in line 847.328.0696 9am - 12noon open to anyone, to talk to a reputable family law attorney for 10-15 minutes and ask questions and receive trusted straightforward answers.
