The Center for People In Transition (PIT)

Program Mission: To assist Displaced Homemakers experiencing divorce, separation, loss or disability of a spouse to become emotionally and economically self-sufficient through life skills training, education or vocational training, and supportive services.

ARE YOU A DISPLACED HOMEMAKER WHO IS:
Confused? Not sure where to turn next? On a roller coaster ride due to changing circumstances in your life? Feeling like there is no light at the end of the tunnel? YOU ARE NOT ALONE! It may be time for you to call The Center for People in Transition to seek some assistance in getting off the roller coaster ride and finding light at the end of the tunnel.

The Center for People in Transition, located on the campus of Gloucester County College in the College Center, is prepared to help you find a positive direction for your life. The Center, funded by New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, Division on Women, and United Way of Gloucester County, provides specialized support services for displaced homemakers including:

  • Individual interviews to determine needs
  • Referrals to community resources
  • Support groups for separated or divorced people
  • Support groups for widows and widowers
  • Workshops on self-development
  • Legal and financial workshops
  • Computer literacy workshops
  • Vocational inventories and career advisement
  • Information on returning to school or seeking job training
  • Job search skills, including resume writing, interview techniques and developing job leads
  • Assistance with job placement

A displaced homemaker is anyone whose major source of financial support is lost through separation, divorce, death or disability of a spouse, and who is emotionally and / or vocationally unprepared to enter the job market. Displaced homemakers are often unaware of needed support and referral services. The Center also provides services to spouses of military personnel who are stationed in Afghanistan and Iraq when funding is available.
