DRW has a self-help groups run by volunteers who have attended the workshop. There are no "experts" but all those present will have personally experienced marriage break-up. There are no hidden agendas - like conversion to any faith or way of thinking. It is suitable for anyone of any age at any stage of separation or divorce.
