Divorce and Relationship Recovery Network

I am extremely grateful for this support group and ministry. It was significant to my personal healing in the aftermath of divorce. It is a safe place to process your emotions and individual relationship situation and learn skills to improve all of the relationships in your life. It is helpful and non-​threatening.
Even though I feel like I’ve recovered from my divorce for the most part, I continue to attend regularly to continue my personal growth. The videos and speakers share such relevant and useful content for everyday life and relationship skills.

There’s nothing like good support when going through divorce, one of the most painful and transformative life events a person can experience. I am very lucky to have found support at meetings put on by the Divorce and Relationship Recovery Network, hosted at various local Presbyterian churches in the Bay Area (times and locations listed on their website and
). If you are going through a separation, divorce, or a painful breakup, this is a healing place to go… no matter what religion or sexual orientation you are.
There is some Christian content in some of the meetings. While I am not Christian, I still am able to get a lot out of the Divorce and Relationship Recovery (DRR) meetings. And as someone who is experiencing the financial hardship of separation, the fact that the meetings are free is a huge blessing for me. It is a non-​profit that is in need of donations, for anyone able to contribute.
Because I benefit so much from these meetings, I dedicate my 800^th review to the Divorce and Relationship Recovery Network. The 2-​hour DRR meetings include a lecture in the first hour, either in person or on video. Speakers have included Psychologists, Co-​Parenting Educators, Lawyers, Healthcare Professionals, and more.
Themes include Safe People, Boundaries, Rescue Your Love Life, How to Handle the Holidays (post-​breakup), Co-​Parenting, How to Fight Fair, Moving Through the Stages of Grief, and more. You can find more details on
. Meeting locations include Los Gatos, Menlo Park, Burlingame, and Fremont (meeting in Mandarin).
The second hour features confidential sharing in small groups, peer led by facilitators who have been divorced for a while. I have found both the lectures and the sharing extremely helpful and healing. If you are looking for a place to heal a broken heart or worthy non-​profit to donate, this is a great organization to know about.
