Divorce recovery support group begins May 1

[APRIL 26, 2006]  A weekly seminar and support group for people who are separated or divorced will be offered from 7 to 9 p.m. on Mondays, beginning May 1, at Jefferson Street Christian Church, 1700 N. Jefferson St.

Each of the 12 DivorceCare sessions will include a video on an issue related to divorce and recovery. Videos feature nationally recognized experts on topics such as coping with loneliness, depression and anger, financial survival, helping children cope with their parents' divorce, and new relationships. Each session also includes discussion of the material presented during the video.

"What's Happening to Me?" is the first topic to be explored. Designed to introduce participants to the support group concept, the first session looks at why divorce hurts so much and how those who are experiencing separation or divorce can begin to stabilize their lives. The video features psychotherapist Les Carter of the Minirth Clinic in Richardson, Texas, and Myles Munroe, Ph.D., author of "Single, Married, Separated, and Life After Divorce."

DivorceCare will meet on Mondays through July 31. There will be no meeting on Memorial Day, May 29.

Participants may join the group at any time during the 12-week series. Preregistration is not required. Cost of the DivorceCare workbook is $12. Child care is available.
