Divorce Support Groups
Support Groups
Divorce is often one of the most traumatic and life changing experiences many people endure. In addition to the financial and physical toll, divorce also has emotional consequences for both parties involved. In the midst of this emotional turmoil, individuals often turn to the one person they encounter the most during their divorce process for emotional support, their divorce attorney. Although divorce attorneys are equipped to guide clients through the treacherous legal terrain of the Georgia divorce process, we are not equipped to help with emotional or mental health concerns.
Often we advise those who seek our help with their divorce, separate maintenance or other family law matter to seek the help of an individual therapist or family counselor to work through the emotional issues attendant to separation and divorce. Divorce support groups are another option. Generally, support groups involve regular meetings where people experiencing similar issues, such as divorce, gather together to talk to others who share similar concerns, and to and offer each other support, advice and encouragement. Especially in the context of divorce, participating in a support group may lessen the loneliness, anxiety and sadness that often comes with divorce and separation.
