Breaking up in Hard Times - What are your Options? Workshop in London

Dates to be arranged at the Institute of Family Therapy, London NW1

Three hour relationship breakup and divorce workshop  with Breakup Angels co-founder Kirsten Gronning; family mediator Lorraine Schaffer; family lawyer Deborah Levy and financial consultant Ray Rastall.

In 2007 and 2008 Breakup Angels co-founder Kirsten Gronning ran five successful workshops in London called The One-Stop Divorce Workshop where she brought together divorce experts to advise on options and best solutions to enable delegates to find answers through their relationship breakdown.

BreakupAngels is re-launching these workshops in 2010 with other breakup organisations and experts including the Institute of Family Therapy (IFT), divorce lawyers and financial experts. The Breaking up in Hard Times - What are your Options? Workshops provide a safe place to find out about a range of issues, from tips to uncover whether a relationship is really over; how to achieve a low cost settlement and moving on afterwards with a range of emotional, legal and financial issues in between. 

By offering these workshops on a weekday evening at the IFT with breakup experts giving up their own time, we can offer short workshops at sensible prices. It needs only 3 hours of your time to meet the people who can answer some of your most difficult to answer questions.

What do you learn?    

The workshop enables women and men to make informed choices about their personal situation through separation and divorce. We cover a range of topics depending on the needs of the delegates eg. legal and financial options; advantages of resolution over litigation; looking after yourself; looking after children; tips and techniques to obtain the best possible split; a simple action plan to help you progress.

Feedback  from delegates at the previous workshops:

The atmosphere was relaxed and supportive, it was good to meet the professionals and learn there is support out there. Much better than trawling the internet! I would highly recommend this course. Faye preparing to divorce at the February ‘How to Successfully Split' workshop. 

I found the How to successfully split workshop extremely helpful, great to meet the people you email & speak to on the telephone and of immeasurable help. This is definitely the way forward and can only get better.  Paul attended the October ‘How to Successfully Split’ workshop. 

You don’t know what divorce is like until you’re actually there, and then it’s like a fairground with ups and downs, swings and roundabouts. These workshops help slow the fairground down.  Sandra, going through a litigious divorce at the March  'One-Stop Divorce workshop.'    

Good balance between informality and professionalism. Sufficient time for questions from participants. Very worthwhile investment of time and money. Invaluable.   
Trish attended the October ‘How to successfully Split’ workshop. 

I thought the course was well-thought out and the experts were kind, helpful and engaging. It was great to have a bank of experts beside us.    
Eve, separated for some time  attended the January ‘How to Successfully Split the Finances’ workshop. 

Would happily recommend to anyone going through divorce. I really enjoyed it, thanks.   
Rupert, just starting the divorce process attended the January ‘How to Successfully Split the Finances’ workshop. 

Many thanks for an extremely useful and supportive workshop. I feel I can make contact with the specialists after the course if necessary.  Terry, facing relationship breakdown, attended the May workshop.  

It made me think more positively about life after divorce -  I now see a way forward & hope.”    Jan, at the May ‘One-Stop divorce Workshop’ divorced several years ago
