New Support Group for Women - Rising From Divorce

If you’ve been through a divorce,or in the process of divorce, you know how lonely, isolating and frightening it can be. The person that you once were and the life that you once had no longer exist and it is up to you to rebuild yourself and your family on solid ground. Healing from divorce takes time, energy and resources. This support group will help you to build hope, strength and inspiration, as well as give you practical tools to deal with your many challenges. You will meet other women who share and understand your struggles and will no longer be alone in your process of healing.

In addition to providing emotional support to women who are dealing with divorce, this support group is topic-based, with a focus on building skills to cope with long and short term effects of divorce. Each week we will discuss a particular topic of interest. For example, we might talk about how to cope with loneliness, financial strain, emotional pain, or joint custody as well as other topics that are of interest to the participants.
Meeting bi-monthly (every other week) on Wednesday mornings at 10:30 - 11:15 am at The Place, The Jerusalem Centre for Emotional Wellbeing. For directions, click here. The first group starts on Wednesday, March 2, 2016. The cost is 30 nis.

The group is open to women of all ages who have been divorced or are finalizing their divorce.
