Finding Support and Healing in Oakham: 221 Divorce Support Group Launches New Chapter at Oakham Baptist Church

Finding Support and Healing in Oakham: 221 Divorce Support Group Launches New Chapter

Divorce, while increasingly common, remains a deeply personal and often painful experience. The emotional rollercoaster, the administrative hurdles, and the restructuring of life can leave individuals feeling isolated and overwhelmed. Recognising this need for support, the 221 Divorce Support organisation has announced the launch of a new group in Oakham, offering a beacon of hope and understanding for those navigating the challenging terrain of separation and divorce.   

Starting on Friday, February 7th, and continuing on the first Friday of every month, the Oakham Baptist Church will host these vital support meetings from 5-7pm. This new group aims to provide a safe and confidential space where individuals can share their experiences, find solace in shared understanding, and gain valuable insights from others who have walked a similar path.   


What sets 221 apart is its foundation in lived experience. The organisation is run by volunteers who have all personally navigated the complexities of divorce. This shared understanding fosters an environment of empathy and genuine support, free from judgment and filled with practical advice.  


The core message of 221 is clear: "WE ARE HERE TO HELP." They understand that while divorce may be commonplace, the journey to recovery can be lonely and arduous. By offering a listening ear and a compassionate community, 221 aims to alleviate this burden and empower individuals to rebuild their lives.

221 offers more than just emotional support. Their website, www.221.org.uk, provides a wealth of resources, information, and guidance on navigating the legal, financial, and emotional aspects of divorce. From practical tips on co-parenting to advice on managing stress and anxiety, 221 equips individuals with the tools they need to move forward with confidence.

The new Oakham group represents an expansion of 221's reach, bringing their invaluable services to a new community. Whether someone is just beginning the process of separation or seeking long-term support in their healing journey, the 221 Divorce Support Group in Oakham offers a lifeline of understanding and empowerment.

The first meeting on February 7th offers an opportunity to connect with others facing similar challenges and discover the power of community support. For those seeking more information or wishing to get involved, Jenny can be contacted at jenny@221.org.uk.
