The ongoing support
After the 6 week course the opportunity to meet up for social occasions will help you to move on - by looking forward to doing new things. Members have found that their new circumstances provide a catalyst for change; often it is the spur to reach the potential that otherwise would have been dormant. Learning to be happy in your own skin rather than rushing into a new relationship can help to bring peace back into your life.
Get out and about
The period of re-adjustment after separation or divorce can be very painful. Meeting new friends, taking up new interests and building for the future can help to turn anxiety into a new and positive phase in life. So often it's difficult to join in with couples and is preferable to meet others who are in the same phase and who understand just what you are going through. They will be non-judgemental and you can "be yourself".
