DivorceCare groups meet weekly to help people face the challenges that come with divorce and move toward rebuilding their lives. Video seminar with experts
Each week your DivorceCare group will watch a video seminar featuring top experts on divorce and recovery subjects. These videos are produced in an interesting television magazine format featuring expert interviews, real-life case studies, dram
atic reenactments, and on-location video.
2. Support group discussion with focus
After viewing the video, group members will spend time as a support group, discussing what was presented in that week’s video seminar and what is going on in their lives.
3. Personal study and reflection
During the week participants will have the opportunity to use their workbooks for further personal study of the grieving process and to help sort out their emotions through journaling. The group will spend time discussing questions and comments from the workbook study. Here’s why thousands of churches worldwide use DivorceCare
