 What divorce group participants have said:
"When I was lost and heartbroken, the group put me on the path to healing. It offered an opportunity to focus on my faith, and to connect with others who were sharing a similar journey."                                                                         Bob


"This past fall I did participate with a nice group. I was at ease due to the fact that everything is confidential. The meetings brought mental and spiritual healing to my life. Thank you, Debbie."                                                                Rosemarie

What single parent class participants have said:
" I found it very comforting to be in a setting of committed single parents that shared their struggles with the very same problems I was facing. I was not handed the answer to every problem, but I found new ways to face the daily challenges and knew that by sharing ideas in a group I was not alone."                                                                   Stephanie
