Divorce recovery support group begins Monday

[JAN. 11, 2006]  A weekly seminar and support group for people who are separated or divorced will be offered from 7 to 9 p.m. Mondays beginning Jan. 16 at Jefferson Street Christian Church, 1700 N. Jefferson St. "What's Happening to Me?" is the first topic to be explored by the DivorceCare seminar and support group.

The first session, designed to introduce participants to the support group concept, looks at why divorce hurts so much and how those who are experiencing separation or divorce can begin to stabilize their lives.

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. The video is followed by group discussion.

The first 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 Mondays through April 3. 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.

Call [phone] for information or to register for child care.
