Separation & Divorce Support Group
Wednesday Evenings 2023
6:45 -8:15 PM
$20.00 per session
What happens at a group?
The group members range from newly separated, separated from committed relationships and/or in the process of getting divorced, to after the divorce is final. Bring your questions and experiences. Share at the level you feel comfortable. This is a place where you are welcomed to listen and talk about what is happening in your life with people who can understand and really “get” what you are going through.
Within the group you will find understanding, support and encouragement through both your personal sharing, as well as through hearing the different stories, perspectives and experiences of others. Begin to heal, discover who you are now, find new strengths, clarity and direction.
