Has your husband/wife walked away from your marital home?
Have you had to leave your marriage because of bullying or abuse?
Are you afraid of the financial consequences of your divorce?
Are you feeling intensely lonely?
221 Divorce Support runs SELF-HELP groups for people struggling to cope with the practical and emotional challenges following the break-up of their marriage or long-term partnership.
Run entirely by volunteers, our groups meet once a month in a safe and confidential space where people can talk with others who understand them. Everyone in the group has experienced divorce or separation, and the mutual support and encouragement is remarkable - helping to calm fears and re-build lost confidence.
We also run a six week course - 'Bitter or Better'. Each week it accompanies participants through the main challenges of their recovery journey, encouraging discussion and problem solving.
WHY 221 WORKS
Talking together with people who really understand the situation is a great comfort and can be a lifeline. We provide an environment where everyone can talk freely about their situation, how they feel, and their anxieties for the future.
At 221 we have all experienced divorce and understand the trauma of a partner leaving the relationship. We understand that it takes time to regain confidence, get used to being single again and feel motivated enough to move on.
Meeting with people who are going through similar experiences, is a very positive step along the path to recovery.
The strength of the group comes from within; talking with others who are in similar circumstances, sharing anxieties and asking all those unanswered questions.
