Support Group
The Cut Off – What Now?™ Support Group is a professionally facilitated online group for estranged parents. It is a place where parents can get support from each other as well as engage in professionally facilitated conversations about estrangement.
It is based in Australia and open to other countries. (Unfortunately, it is not open to citizens of Canada or the USA at this time due to insurance limitations)
Who is it for?
The Support Group is for parents who want to understand their experience of estrangement and work out how to move forward. It is a place to talk openly about what has happened and feel supported by other parents with similar experiences. There is room for grief, frustration and difficult feelings without assigning blame.
This group focuses on understanding what is happening, developing self-reflection skills, making changes where we can, and learning to let go of what is outside our control.
How does it work?
You can choose from a three-month or six-month membership.
Membership includes a 60-minute facilitated online group every fortnight. Each session focuses on a different aspect of the estrangement experience such as, what to do if your child reaches out, the role of social media and the impact of estrangement on your family. There is plenty of opportunity to talk with other parents, with the added benefit of having an experienced facilitator. You are not alone!
