North County Times: "Divorce Care" is a 14-week video seminar featuring experts on divorce and recovery. The workshop offers advice from clergy, counselors and other experts on the tough question of handling the day-to-day stresses of life in the shadow of fear and loneliness. Each session has two parts: a group viewing of a videotape, followed by small group discussions of the subject presented on the tape. Topics include financial survial, the road to healing, facing your anger, depression and loneliness, and new relationships. Participants also share their stories.
Dorothy DeLong, the ministry's group leader, cofounded the workshop in 1983 after the painful breakup of her own marriage. The difference between Emmanuel Faith's program and a secular program is that the church program offers hope and encouragement through Scripture, DeLong said.
