Divorce Care Course

DivorceCare is a safe place where caring people come alongside you as you find healing from the pain of separation or divorce. At this 13-week, video-based support group program, you’ll find helpful counsel to manage the emotional turmoil and practical tools for decision-making.

What to Expect

It’s common to feel isolated when you’re going through a separation. But you are not alone. There are many in our community who feel the way you do.

It’s understandable you feel nervous about joining this course. Meeting new people and exposing your vulnerabilities can be difficult. Those feelings will leave quickly as you meet people who understand and can empathise with your situation and can share their similar hurts and experiences.

There will be time to watch video seminars on various topics and hear case studies of people who have experienced separation. You will learn helpful, practical information that will help you put the pieces of your life back together.

You will then have a chance to share your experiences, though there’s no pressure to do so. This is a safe space to find healing.

Course Topics

During the first 30-40 minutes of the meeting, the group watch a video seminar, featuring experts on divorce and recovery.
These videos are produced in an easy-to-watch television-magazine format, featuring interviews, real-life case studies, and on-location video.

The seminar topics include:

• What is happening to me?

• The road to healing/finding help

• Facing my anger

• Facing my depression

• Facing my loneliness

• What does the owner’s manual say?

• New relationships?

• Financial survival

• Kid care

• Single sexuality

• Forgiveness

• Reconciliation

• Moving on, growing closer to God

After that there is open discussion, which is often the most helpful time of the night as we get a chance to process together what our different experiences have been and to learn from each other’s journey.

You don’t need to go it alone.

Most people will tell you that separation and divorce are the most painful and stressful experiences that they’ve ever faced. The Divorce Care course was made to help deal with the pain of the past, and look forward to rebuilding your life.
