Men's Divorce Support Group
A group for men facing or recovering
from divorce & significant breakups
You are not alone. Divorce can be one of the most challenging things a man ever goes through. With help it can be the start of something brand new.
Our current fall cohort is full. Sign up here to get updates about future drop in groups and for early registration for cohorts beginning in January and April.
Facilitated by Sarah Townsend and Dustin Shatto
What does it cost?
Drop in groups cost $75 for session with sliding scale slots available.
The full fee for the 6 week group is $450. Sliding scale tiers at $300 and $200 are also available based on need.
Who is this group for?
This group is for men who are in any stage of navigating a divorce or significant relationship ending. For most people the lengthy emotional, logistical, and legal processes take a major toll on their wellbeing. Many men feel isolated and overwhelmed. The meetings are a space to share and hear personal experiences, gain knowledge & practical tools, and build new connections.
What can I expect if I attend?
The group centers around shared experiences, grief, identity and connection. Groups start with snacks and light ice breakers. Time is reserved for individual introductions sharing as desired, with therapeutic style activities if time allows.
The cohort groups run for six weeks and allow for deeper exploration and connections. We encourage participants to journal throughout their experience and send along weekly thoughts and questions as prompts.
In addition we schedule 2-3 social get togethers - attending a sporting event, bbq's, hike, etc. These are meant to add another dynamic and layer to the relationships being built.
What about confidentiality?
A vital part of creating a safe emotional space is having group agreement to confidentiality of identities and experiences shared. While we cannot guarantee full confidentiality, we make every effort to reinforce this throughout each meeting.
