What can I Expect?
Healing from the pain of divorce or relational breakdown takes time.
The length of time to heal varies from person to person. It is suggested that you attend three workshops which are offered over a one-year period. Workshops have different teaching topics and extend over a 9 week period. Participants often attend for more than one year and continue to learn and grow.
Your commitment to the process helps to determine your ability to grow.
Our program consists of a 30-minute teaching followed by a 90 minute small group discussion. Each group has up to 10 participants and are usually mixed gender. Commitment to attending every session is key! You never know what topic may be a "turning point" for you. In the workshop you will become an important part of a "community" in your small group. They need you as much as you need them.
You will probably experience highs and lows as you process the loss.
Exploring reasons for your pain may seem to make it worse, but healing comes when you confront your issues and not avoid them. Discover how you contributed to your situation in ways that you did not realize beforehand, and find positive behavioral changes begin. The workshop design is for you to have healthier, God honoring relationships.
The group leaders have been where you are.
Divorce Recovery group leaders are volunteers who have personally experienced divorce. All have grown emotionally and spiritually through the experience by attending this workshop and having faith in Jesus.
