Immanuel Separated & Divorced Group
What is Separated / Divorced Support?

• It is a safe place for someone to come to during a time of healing.
• It is a caring and understanding environment among others who are separated or divorced and share many of the same feelings.
• It is an opportunity to share as much at a feeling level as one wishes to share.
• It is an opportunity to discover that you are not "crazy." That many others experience similar experiences and feelings.
• It is an opportunity to experience the genuine support of others who have "been there" and are willing to listen.
• It is an opportunity for wholeness and getting one's life back on track.
