St. Mary’s Center Helps Women Overcome

Prosecutor Susan Corcoran works as an assistant district attorney in Plymouth County. In addition to her work as a prosecutor, Susan Corcoran supports many nonprofit organizations, including St. Mary’s Center for Women and Children.

The goals of St. Mary’s Center for Women and Children include support, education, and motivation for women who have experienced trauma or poverty. As a natural extension of the center’s education and development program, the Women@Work training program addresses many traditional barriers to employment and self-sufficiency often found in those who have experienced abuse or poverty. The 15-week program provides tracking services like daily check-in calls and support to help participants start a career or develop their education.

The program also provides free credits transferable to various colleges, allowing participants to start their higher education. Women@Work offers classes in several stable industry sectors, including health care, financial services, real estate, and higher education services.
