A Guide to Online Support for Divorce
If you are going through a separation, learning how to manage a divorce is key to making this transition a graceful one.
The most obvious type of support for divorce you will need is emotional support from your friends and family. While it is important to lean on your close circle during this difficult time, it is important to seek outside support for both financial and legal purposes.
Additionally, if no one in your close circle of friends and family has been through divorce before, it can be essential that you lean on the support of other people that are going through the same thing that you are.
Online divorce support groups are a cost-effective and convenient way to meet with other people going through a separation.

For many people going through a tough time, support groups can sound like the last thing they want to do.
If you are feeling depressed, judged, isolated, angry, or any other myriad of emotions, it can be difficult to comprehend that anyone may be
able to help you. There are likely many people in your life that will just not understand the challenges you are facing when you’re actively
going through your divorce.
That is the reason all support groups got started—
So that different people could get together, relate, and heal in a non-judgemental space.
There are support groups for every different type of struggle. Some of the most popular include support groups for addiction, grief, or chronic medical conditions.
Divorce support groups are a space where you can meet with other people going through separation to discuss what you’re going through. You will be able to process your emotions and frustrations in real-time without judgement.
Here are just a few of the benefits of engaging with divorce support groups:
Even though you may be seeking a support group for emotional support, you are likely to be blown away by the practical advice you receive in terms of the best divorce lawyers in your area, handling issues like child support, and talk therapy recommendations.
If you are feeling overwhelmed by your separation, support groups are a simple and cost-effective way to gain some traction in coping. Challenge yourself to go to a support group for several weeks to see the difference it can make in your life.
If you have tried to go to a support group in the past, whether it be for divorce or for a different grievance; and you had a negative experience, we encourage you to try again with a different group.
Like therapists or doctors, support groups are not one-size-fits-all and it may take some time to find the right group for you.

Here are some other common problems you may experience at a support group:
If you experience any issues such as these, it is in your favour to explore a different group that respects your boundaries and healing process.

After a divorce, meeting other people can feel a bit daunting. Meeting people over Zoom can be much less intimidating than meeting in person. Whatever helps you take the first steps towards finding support is a win!
