About the Divorce Support Group
 The PURPOSE of the Divorce Support Group is to make connections with others in similar situations, make new friends, talk and be listened to with understanding and learn from one another.
“We are not a therapy group. We are a group of peers –
women who have a great deal in common.”
Every Sunday evening
5:00 to 7:00 p.m.
Salem Methodist Church, Lindbergh at Highway 40.
(Use the back parking lot entrance.)
Divorce in your life? Or do you know someone considering or going through divorce? The Midlife Women's Divorce Seminar will be held in October 2008. Watch this spot for more information on it as it becomes available.
Each Sunday meeting is facilitated by trained peer leaders and includes both sharing of experiences and concerns and discussion of a pertinent topic. The meetings provide a place to accept and work through the range of emotions that occur in divorce… a place to rebuild our self-confidence, self-esteem and inner strength.
Divorce Support Group Guidelines
1.Self-determination Each one determines what she will say. No one is pressured.
2.Confidentiality What is head in the group stays in the group.
3.Taking turns We share the available time fairly.
4.Advice We tell about our own experiences, but we do not offer unsolicited advice.
