OUR GROUPS
221 facilitates monthly meetings to enable people to meet up and talk with others in similar circumstances and at varying stages of recovery.
We know
through personal experience, of the
great need to talk, and
a
supportive group of friends can be a real lifeline at this
time.
When you have experienced the break-up of a marriage or a relationship of many years, then you will know it takes time to regain confidence, get used to being single again, feel motivated to move on.
Our meetings are conducted on the understanding of a high level of
confidentiality and respect for each other’s privacy.
Everyone is welcome on a drop-in basis so no prior commitment is required.
There is no charge but a contribution to tea and coffee is voluntary!

SOCIAL EVENTS
Loneliness and loss of a social circle is a very common result of a broken marriage/partnership and creating a new life as a single person is daunting.
At 221 we provide opportunities to meet up with friends for meals, walks, cinema trips and other activities. These are arranged through existing group meetings on an ad hoc basis.
COURSES
221’s “Recovering from Divorce” course runs for six sessions.
It is about recovering and moving on, regaining confidence and re-establishing our identity.
The six sessions:
Untying the knot
An introductory session where we talk together, sharing our anxieties and
struggles, and gaining confidence and encouragement within the group.
Acceptance
Accepting the finality of our marriage/long-term paertnership can be very
hard, and together, we discuss the difficulties.
Communication
Children, parents, the extended family and friends are all affected by what has
happened to us. We look at the complicatons of communicating with our ex-partners
and also the reaction of our friends and family to our situation.
The Divorce
An opportunity to share our experiences of the legal divorce settlements and
discuss how we can protect our best interests and avoid pitfalls.
Bitter or better
We cannot recover if we are consumed by bitterness, and together we
talk through our difficulties in moving on emotionally.
Moving on
Making a new life for ourselves.
Who for: The course is open to anyone going through a divorce/separation and at any stage of their recovery. For comments, see Feedback page.
Costs: Our courses are run on a not-for-profit basis. However we ask for £30 to cover necessary costs such as venue hire, etc.
