Second Act/Scene 2 is a non-profit charity offering mental health counseling services.

Who We Are

Second Act | Scene 2 is a faith-based 501c3 organization providing our less fortunate community members with high-quality, professional counseling and social work services at reduced cost to those in need in the Fox Valley area and surrounding communities.

Our Mission

Compelled by God’s boundless love, we offer a safe, soothing environment where the under insured affected by mental illness and troubled lives can find hope, healing and regeneration.

We are fortunate to live in a thriving community where many enjoy prosperity. But mental illness knows no boundaries and many among us have reached a dead end, seeing no light at the end of the tunnel.

Second Act | Scene 2 offers light in dark places when resources are thin and all hope appears lost.

We Need Your Support

At a time when services are getting harder to come by and funding is drying up, Second Act | Scene 2 is stepping in to fill the gap. We provide those blessed with prosperity in our community with a chance to give back. Your donations enable us to continue our work to provide counseling services to those in need. Together we do make a difference! Read about our success stories here .
