DIVORCE RECOVERY WORKSHOP

DRW Official LogoAn eight-week Monday evening workshop is for anyone divorced or separated.       

  This workshop is offered twice each year. Please email Joe for the dates of the next workshop
  and ask to be added to the mailing list.

       This workshop is designed to help you deal with the devastation and pain of divorce, and to set you on a
        positive path toward the future. Many divorce recovery programs are designed to permit participants to
        select which sessions to attend according to their interests. We, however, encourage participants to
        attend both the video and the small group sessions of all six sessions of this workshop, from the  
        beginning, in order to understand the full range of issues surrounding the divorce experience and to   
        achieve the maximum benefit from the workshop. 

        The study guide for the workshop is Jim Smoke's book: Growing Through Divorce.

    Divorce hurts! Some people say that you will "get over it" with the passage of time, but that isn't true. Recovery from the divorce experience requires dealing with deep and very specific needs so that the fullness and joy of life can be restored. "You can go through divorce, or you can grow through it," says Jim Smoke, author of the popular book - Growing through Divorce.      
   This Workshop uses a video series to introduce each weekly topic, and then small groups for confidential discussion of the material. The six-part video series was made by one of the most successful Divorce Recovery Workshops in the country, having attracted more than 13,000 people since 1981! The small group experience is rated by past participants as making the greatest contribution to their healing and growth.       

   The video presentations, coupled with the mutual support and understanding of others dealing with similar issues, will help you make one of life's most difficult adjustments, no matter where you are in the divorce process.       

   The Workshop was recently extended from six weeks to eight weeks by adding two "bonus" sessions to deal with the legal and financial aspects of divorce, as well as how to manage your money. The sessions use local professionals (a divorce lawyer, a financial planner and a financial coach) to present and discuss the issues, and then answer questions on these topics. People who attended these sessions in the last several Workshops said they learned a lot. The bonus sessions truly helped them in dealing with these difficult subjects.       

   Everyone is welcome, regardless of religious affiliation or background. The only requirement is that you are divorced, separated, or going through the legal process of divorce or separation. Even if you have been divorced for several years, the Workshop can help you identify and work through "unfinished business" that is having a negative impact on your life today. Most people are not even aware of the ways in which their choices and behaviors are negatively influenced as a result of choosing to "go through" divorce on their own. 

   Come join us and start on the path of "growing" through your divorce!
