Listen "Innovative Resources For Single And Divorced Families"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Mardi Winder and Ron Platt explore the essential role of support and resources for individuals and families navigating divorce. The focus centers on the National Association for Single and Divorced Families, co-founded by Ron Platt, which takes a comprehensive approach to supporting not only those currently experiencing divorce but also single parents and anyone transitioning through family change.Drawing from his extensive experience in insurance and real estate, and his personal journey as a foster parent, Ron shares the motivations behind establishing the association. He highlights the gaps he witnessed in the systems designed for families, from the struggles within foster care to the challenges faced by his former business partner in escaping an abusive marriage. This firsthand understanding helped shape a service that strives to make the process of divorce less isolating and overwhelming for everyone involved.The discussion covers a variety of practical resources available through the association, from discounted childcare and mental health support to unique solutions such as child support insurance, a product that helps ensure alimony and child support payments continue even if the payer loses their job involuntarily or becomes disabled. Affordable membership gives individuals the flexibility to choose only the services they need without additional obligation.Throughout the conversation, Ron and Mardi emphasize the importance of advocacy, community, and having a strong foundation during times of transition.
