January is the month that sees a spike in the number of people seeking divorce following difficulties in or the breakdown of a significant relationship.

Separation and divorce are often devastating and traumatic and the depth of emotional suffering not always understood.

However, help is at hand through Divorce Recovery Workshop (DRW) which is running in Reading in March.

The course is for anyone of any background, at any stage of a separation or a divorce.

It helps you come to terms with a relationship that is breaking or has broken down.

It enables you to have a better understanding of what you are going through, provides support from others in the same situation and assists with the readjustment in your life.

The people running the workshop have experienced the breakup of a significant relationship and attended the DRW course.

Consistently there is positive feedback from previous participants about how much the course has benefited them.

“This workshop has been enlightening and inspiring. I thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot in a comfortable environment,” said one participant.

“It helped me to realise that other people go through the same feelings and emotions. It also enabled me to express my feelings freely and to be myself.”

Course leader Seamus has been involved with DRW for several years, initially attending the course as a participant and then running the workshop locally so that others can benefit.

The next Reading Divorce Recovery Workshop is being held over two consecutive Saturdays, from 9.30am to 4.30pm on both March 18 and 25.

Places cost £70, which covers attendance, refreshments and lunches.

Contact Seamus for more details: reading@drw.org.uk or 07887 800521.
