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

We provide high quality professional counseling to the underinsured or uninsured who are ready to find hope, healing and regeneration as they plan their Second Act.

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 .
