A COURSE helping people to deal with divorce or separation will begin at The Hive in Worcester on Tuesday.

The Moving Forward course will help people to take steps to rebuild their lives and to make successful relationships in future.

Karen McVeigh, training manager from Relate Worcestershire, which is working with the library to deliver the course, said: “There is often wide-spread help and support offered to deal with the legal or financial aspects of a divorce or separation but emotional support is often a much neglected area. "Following separation individuals can find themselves needing to find new jobs, new homes, new friends and yet if they are unable to come to terms with what has happened, facing these new challenges may feel impossible. The course will help the learners re-establish their self-confidence, meet others in the same situation, and explore ways to deal more positively with future change.”

The course starts at 10am and runs until 12.30pm and will be held weekly for five weeks.
