Charity Divorce Recovery Workshop has just announced the dates of its new course to help overcome the pain of separation and divorce.
The course run by the Berkshire branch will be at Brookside Hall, Earley, over two Friday evenings and two Saturdays, on February 18, 19, 25 and 26.
Seamus, who is helping run the new workshop course, said: “We’re delighted to be back offering help again after a two year break due to covid.”
The charity’s workshops are for people whose relationship has broken down, whether they’re divorced or separated, and whenever the breakdown was.
At the course, videos are shown which prompt confidential discussion in small groups.
All DRW’s volunteer leaders have been on a course themselves.
The workshops, run across the UK since 1992, are for both men and women. DRW is keen that more men should give them a try.
Graham, 63, of Reading, said: “Generally, I think men find it harder to talk about their feelings when separation or divorce occurs. DRW gives a safe, non judgmental, understanding and accepting place to do this – and to gain hope for the future.”
Other people have said: “There is emphasis on your wellbeing so you can have a better life, so you don’t spend your future dogged by the unhappiness and disappointment of a previous relationship.”
“It can be a horrible, tough, awful time. DRW showed me a way through. I never imagined I could live life to the full again.”
A modest charge covers course costs including lunch. The website, at www.drw.org.uk, gives tips for going through separation or divorce.
