Recommended Divorce Support Groups
The Fisher Seminars
- Divorce Support
Many Colorado community and church organizations
offer divorce support, “recovery” and “adjustment” groups,
offering solace and direction at a time of estrangement and
bewilderment.
One long-standing, highly regarded approach
to such divorce support is
The
Fisher Seminars. (Note: Although this website
offers a good description of this course, see links below
for providers currently offering these seminars.)
Initially designed by the late
Dr. Bruce Fisher, a Boulder, Colorado marriage therapist, The Fisher
Seminars have been offered for more than twenty five years in
many states and foreign countries.
Through a confidential ten week alliance
with others in similar circumstances, the course teaches
relationship building skills and offers divorce
support to separated and divorcing parties (who attend
independently and not in the same group with a spouse or
former spouse).
