White Collar Support Group: Meets Mondays Online on Zoom
Rev. Jeff Grant, J.D., M.Div., Co-Founder
From serving time to time serving
I work with people prosecuted for white collar crimes (and their families) who want to come out of isolation, take responsibility for their actions and join a supportive community that will help them navigate their journeys through the criminal justice system – to new ethical, productive, joyful lives on the other side of their issues.
As an ordained minister, conversations and communications with those I serve fall under state clergy privilege laws. This is one reason that attorneys often allow and encourage their clients to maintain relationships with me while in active prosecution or litigation situations. Not a prison consultant; not a prison coach.
Lynn Springer, Co-Founder
Faith in action
I am the Founding Advocate of the Innocent Spouse & Children Project. As the innocent partner of a white collar criminal, and a mother, I am called to this ministry with a heart of compassion and understanding. A certified yoga instructor, I assist women and families in finding ethical ways through faith and practical solutions to a new sturdy, healthy, spiritual way of life.
