Divorce Support Groups Offer a Safe Place for Those Going Through the Divorce Process

Online, May 18, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Visions Anew Institute, a non-profit which empowers individuals in navigating the divorce process, offers free, therapist-led support groups each week at various locations around Atlanta. Many people going through the divorce process do not have anyone to turn to for help and assistance. They feel their friends and family are tired of hearing details of the divorce and do not understand their experience or what they are feeling. They are experiencing a roller coaster of emotions - anxiety, guilt, rejection and betrayal, just to name a few.

Currently, Visions Anew offers free, therapist-led support groups to help women deal with these different feelings. These groups allow participants to share experiences and information about navigating through the divorce process. "It's tempting to either roll up in a ball and not share your emotions with anyone or to tell everyone you meet about the latest tribulations of your divorce journey. Visions Anew Institute offers a haven of compassion and camaraderie where your story will be heard and respected," says Margot Swann, Founder/CEO of Visions Anew.

The FREE women-only support groups currently offered by Visions Anew are listed below. The organization will be adding support groups for men only in the near future. For more information, please visit visionsanew.org or call 770.953.2882.
