Grief Support Groups

Free Divorce Support Groups

Divorce support for the whole family. Our groups are free to all participants and offer children and adults a place to work through the changes divorce brings.

Who the groups are for

Divorce and separation can bring grief alongside changes in relationships and family life. Groups offer a place for children and adults to connect with others navigating those changes, with children grouped by developmental age and adults separate from an ex-partner.

Children's groups

Children ages 3 and up, grouped by developmental age.

Adult groups

Adults navigating divorce or separation. Ex-partners are placed in separate groups.

The original program also described support for never-married co-parents experiencing a custody change. Call our team to ask whether the next group is a fit for your situation and how to prepare your child before attending.

We are not able to accommodate children under the age of 3 in our support groups. Please find alternative childcare for infants and toddlers during group times.

What do I do if my group doesn't have open spots?

Call 405-841-4800 to be added to the waitlist. We are almost always able to admit everyone wanting to attend, as people often let us know the day of that they can't attend.

Yes. Groups are “open,” so new participants can enroll each week. Please reserve your spot for each session you plan to attend.

Does my child need to know why they are coming to group?

Yes. Please explain to your child why they are coming to group, such as telling them who has died or that a divorce or separation is happening. For support in how to talk with your children about group, call 405-841-4800.

What happens if I need to miss a week of group?

If you have not reserved your spot, simply don't reserve it for the session you need to miss. You will not be taken off the email list. If you have already reserved your spot, please call 405-841-4800 to let us know so we can invite someone from the waitlist.

Do you serve dinner?

We do not serve dinner each group night, but snacks and drinks are available before groups. We often have a group dinner on the last night of the group session.
