The Transcending Divorce Support Group Guide: Guidance and Meeting Plans for Facilitators

Intended for leaders who want to facilitate an effective divorce group, this guide provides 12 meeting plans based on the book "Transcending Divorce" and its companion journal. Showing that feelings of grief and loss are to be expected during and after a divorce, these sessions are based on the idea that the best healing comes from the support and compassion of fellow human beings. Each week, group members are asked to read a portion of "Transcending" "Divorce "and write down their thoughts and feelings in the guided journal, providing a basis upon which the support group leader can effectively combine divorce grief education with compassionate support. Goals for the 12 weeks include dispelling misconceptions about divorce, exploring feelings of loss, reaching out for help, seeking integration rather than final answers, and enjoying the process of transformation.
