Divorce Support Event

Fri, 12 Jul 2024 19:00

DIVORCE SUPPORT

Have you gone through, or are you going through a divorce,

or the break-up of a long-term partnership?

If so, you will know how painful and life-changing an experience it can be, leaving you overwhelmed with many difficult emotions.

However, meeting with others who are in a similar situation can be a source of great support and encouragement.

If this is relevant to you or someone you know, I would like to invite you to an informal get-together at St Francis' Church, Eastfield Road Duston on Friday 12th July at 7 pm for some light refreshments and an opportunity to discuss whether you would like to be part of a new support group in Northampton for those dealing with issues of divorce and separation.

During the evening there will be an opportunity to listen to Jenny Firth who has had much experience of setting up a number of 221 Divorce Support Groups and also runs a course to help people work through the challenges divorce brings and to help discover the strength to move on.

If you are interested in attending this event and would like to know more, please contact me.
