Divorce Recovery Series: A Process for Growth

Whether divorce was a choice for you or you had no choice, it is a major disruption in your life. Everything changes, including your very identity. How do you put a handle on it all, mourn the losses, and embrace the opportunities? Marianne Skrobiak, M.S., a psychotherapist, former Adult and Family Minister, and a pioneer in the area of divorce recovery, presents a series of six evenings (one each week) to help those who are dealing with all aspects of divorce. Offered by parishes in the area, the series is usually held in late summer/early fall.

For more information, contact Marianne Skrobiak at Recovery Point, S.C., 414-529-2591, or Mary Kaminski at 262-796-3944, x120.
