Fairfax Church of Christ
Divorce Recovery Support Group
Mission

TO CREATE a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential environment for recently separated or divorced persons where they can understand their pain and grow from the experience.

TO FOSTER a caring, nurturing, and supportive environment in which group members will feel comfortable and willing to share, participate, and encourage one another.

TO HELP participants understand that they are not alone in their experiences—others have felt similar pain, regained balance in their lives, and are living positive, productive, and balanced lives.

TO EXPLAIN to participants that recovery from divorce or the loss of a love relationship is a process that occurs over time and which involves confronting deep emotions, accepting one’s self (blemishes and all), and overcoming periodic setbacks.

TO BEGIN the process of helping participants evaluate their lost relationship, understand where they currently are, and develop a positive direction for their future.

TO PROVIDE resources and tools to participants so they can better understand their particular situation and take steps to rebuild their lives.
