introduction

Formed in 2005, prisms - providing resources for independent single mothers after separation - provides single mothers and women thinking about ending their relationship with all the practical information and strategies they need to rebuild their lives and achieve independence as single parents. On the prisms site you can:

• join our online forum and talk to other single mothers
• visit our resource centre to find out vital information about where you can get help and what you need to do in the first few months after you separate
• find out more about our national network of meetings across Australia
• get expert advice from our panel of industry-leading professionals
• read the honest accounts of women who have been through - and survived! - separation and divorce
• consult our useful services directory and be connected to services - like financial planners, lawyers and psychologists - in your state or territory
• join our free mailing list and receive regular updates about single parenting and prisms' activities. It's easy - just type your email address into the bottom right panel on this page.

There are no quick fixes to the issues mothers face when they separate. But putting in place the right strategies early on will benefit you and your children. prisms' goal and purpose is to help you map out a new future, starting today. We welcome all comments about the website and our services at feedback@prisms.com.au.
