Arizona Divorce and Separation Support Groups
Even when couples divorce or separate amicably, ending a long-term relationship is a life-altering decision that induces a wide range of emotions, including fear, guilt, anxiety, excitement, anger, and sadness. Both divorce support groups and separation support groups offer exactly what they promise: support. Participants find a safe place where they can express their conflicting emotions with others going through the same thing. In fact, the realization that others are struggling with similar issues helps many people going through divorce or separation. Additionally, participants find the act of supporting others a powerful part of their own emotional healing.
The popularity of support groups has grown to such a degree that those interested in joining a divorce support group have many options from which to choose: co-ed, men only, women only, religion-based, online, parents, even support groups specifically for children and teens. No matter which part of the Phoenix Metro area you call home, there is a divorce or separation support group to fit your unique needs.
