How to decide which group to attend? Things you should consider:


Are your values and beliefs consistent with the foundation of the program? What is most important to you in a group? What do you hope to get out of the group? Is the location convenient and does the time and day of the week work in your schedule? Will the group cover a specific topic or area of concern where you need help? If you are a Christian Believer you may benefit most from a Christ centered program.

Do not feel that you have to belong to a particular church to attend their Divorce Recovery group. These groups are generally open to the community. The best way to get a feel for a group is to contact the person organizing the group and ask questions.

DivorceCare is an organization with thousands of seminars and support groups that meet weekly throughout the US, Canada and nearly 20 other countries and territories. If you click on the link you can find a group near you. The neat thing about DivorceCare groups is that you can join at any time.

 If you miss the beginning of the group it does not matter. Each of the 13 weeks covers a different topic, so you can jump in any time and keep going until you have gone through each of the topics. DivorceCare is a Christian based program.

DivorceCare does offer a program for children called DivorceCare for kids. If you have children your kids can be attending a support group for them while you are participating in the adult program. The DivorceCare for kids is not always offered with the adult program, but the Internet will show you which locations offer the kids program.
