There aren't many people around you who understand the pain your divorce or separation has caused. To you. Your family. Your friends. That's the reason for DivorceCare. It's a series conducted by people who understand what you are experiencing. Most importantly, you'll learn how to deal with the pain of the past and look forward to rebuilding your life. The course runs for 13 weeks and is repeated throughout the year.

We meet at Flushing United Methodist Church. Each two hour session begins with a 30 minute video tape featuring nationally recognized experts on divorce and recovery topics.

Seminar Topics:

An examination of the typical emotional, physical and spiritual reactions felt by someone experiencing separation or divorce.

What's Happening to Me? – Session 1
This introductory seminar helps answer the question, "Why do I feel the way I do?" It helps participants become comfortable with the support group concept.

The Road to Healing/Finding Help – Session 2
This video segment helps the participants identify the losses that occur as the result of divorce. It also discusses ways to begin the process of healing from the hurt of divorce.

Facing My Anger – Session 3
This video seminar deals with the subject of anger, a nearly universal reaction by both spouses during a divorce, and offers constructive suggestions for dealing with anger.

Facing My Depression – Session 4
Depression can paralyze a person going through divorce. Despite this, it can be a "healing emotion," and this video seminar explores constructive responses to depression.

Facing My Loneliness – Session 5
After divorce, many people respond to their loneliness in ways that will cause them even deeper pain. This segment explores healthy ways to overcome loneliness.

What Does the Owner's Manual Say? – Session 6
