[August 25, 2008]  ^"What's Happening to Me?" is the first topic to be explored when the DivorceCare seminar and support group meets at Jefferson Street Christian Church, 1700 N. Jefferson. The initial Monday session will be Sept. 8, from 7 to 9 p.m.

DivorceCare is a video seminar series featuring experts on divorce and recovery topics such as coping with depression and anger, financial survival, and single parenting. Each meeting also includes discussion of the material presented during the video.

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 & Life After Divorce."

DivorceCare will meet on Mondays through Nov. 24. Participants may join the group at any time during the series; preregistration is not required. Cost of the DivorceCare workbook is $12. Child care is available.
