Everyone in your family needs to find healing from the hurt and pain of divorce. In order to help your family recover, we have provided two different programs—one for you and one for your children.
DivorceCare is a 13-week program designed to help you find comfort and healing in a divorce recovery support group program. DivorceCare for Kids, a program for children 5–12 years of age, is a companion to the adult DivorceCare. The weekly themes for both programs complement each other. Because both you and your children are on the same or similar topics each week, it creates opportunities for meaningful conversations about the issues you face.
Why wait? Start your family on the road to recovery today by using our Group Finder.
Here are some other tools we provide to help you and your family find healing.
ParentZone
Check out the ParentZone and discover FREE articles, resources and advice to help and encourage you on your single parenting journey. Whether you are a newly divorced parent or you have been single parenting for years, there are articles to help you become a better and wiser single parent. Articles for the newly divorced single parent give you guidelines and ideas about how to do this parenting thing alone. The seasoned single parent will enjoy and be able to relate to funny stories about parenting during the teenage years. Articles like “Poof, Disappeared!

A note about the teenager in your family
At this time we are conducting research and compiling data on a teenage divorce recovery curriculum. We realize youth need assistance just as much as elementary-age children. While we wish we could provide a program immediately, in order to provide a high-quality program that people have come to expect of Church Initiative, it takes much time and patience to develop. We want to provide the best program for the youth in your family.
We encourage you to share the concepts and truths you learn in DivorceCare with your teenage children. The weekly Parent Pages, available to participants of DivorceCare and DC4K, include ideas for building family strengths, targeting teens as well as younger children. By incorporating these ideas with your teens, you will be helping your teen to begin to heal along with the rest of your family.
If you have any comments or suggestions regarding a teenage divorce recovery curriculum, we would love to hear from you. Email your feedback to info@dc4k.org.
