Supporting women through betrayal and divorce
with E.A.S.E.
​Bringing visibility and access to women navigating intimate betrayal and divorce.​ Not a Casserole Widow® (NACW®) is a nonprofit organization committed to expanding access to education and restorative support for women navigating intimate betrayal and divorce. While many forms of loss receive public acknowledgment, the grief and disorientation that follow betrayal often unfold quietly. NACW® exists to bring visibility, education, and scholarship-supported opportunities for women who need space, clarity, and informed support during one of life’s most destabilizing seasons.​
​​​
Our Mission: To provide trauma-informed education, advocacy, and scholarship-supported restorative experiences for women navigating intimate betrayal and divorce.​
We Serve Through:
Education: We partner with organizations, faith communities, and professional conferences to provide trauma-informed education on the unique realities women often encounter following intimate betrayal and divorce. Because betrayal impacts emotional safety, identity, decision-making, relationships, and stability, women frequently come to systems of support carrying experiences that are misunderstood or minimized. Our educational efforts explore betrayal trauma, high-conflict divorce dynamics, faith and relational integrity, and post-separation resilience through a compassionate and restorative lens.
Advocacy: We work to increase awareness around the unique challenges women face in the aftermath of intimate betrayal and divorce — particularly in systems where their experiences are often minimized or misunderstood.
Support: NACW® offers restorative community, coaching, and retreat experiences designed to help women reconnect with clarity, strength, and stability. Through donor and grant support, we provide scholarships and support to women who would not otherwise have access to these experiences.
Empowerment: At NACW®, we believe women are more than what happened to them. Empowerment is not about pretending pain did not occur — it is about helping women reconnect with their voice, intuition, clarity, and worth after seasons of betrayal, grief, and profound transition. Through compassionate support and restorative community, we seek to remind women they are not rebuilding alone.
LeadershipNACW® is governed by a volunteer board committed to ethical leadership, financial transparency, and thoughtful stewardship.
