Usually the adult support groups are 10 sessions of one and a half hours each , but the time and number of sessions may change depending on available leadership, size of group, time of the year, and desires of the participants. The evening adult support groups are open for two weeks and then closed. A daytime adult support group is an open group that participants can attend for as long as they want. Most participants in this group will come for a few weeks and then move on, often to an evening group, but others may remain for several months and may attend both the daytime group and an evening group. Leadership of these groups includes volunteer male and female co-leader partners , at least one of whom has been divorced.
Meeting spaces are in a variety of locations.
It is not unusual for participants to attend more than one Divorce Recovery group, and some of the people will go to two or more adult support groups. While there is no limit as to the number of groups that a participant can attend, participants are encouraged to attend some of the other options available rather than continue to go from one adult group to another. Children of Divorce groups focus on the needs of children in the divorce transition . In the community group , children, kindergarten through high school, are invited to attend with one parent. A secondary goal is to help parents develop skills to assist in this transition.
