Divorce support group for women · South Africa

A divorce support group for women, without the workbook.

In short

After Divorce runs free, women-only weekly meetups for divorced and separated women in South Africa. They are relaxed get-togethers, such as an evening walk, coffee or a supper club, with women who are going through the same thing. There is no course and no cost, and you come for as long as it helps.

When it happens

What to expect

Same night every week

One evening a week that is yours and already planned, whatever else the week throws at you.

Women who get it

The paperwork, the co-parenting messages, the friends who went quiet. You will not need to explain any of it.

No workbook, no homework

It is company and conversation, not a programme. Come every week or now and then.

Company, not therapy

This is not counselling and does not replace it. If things feel too heavy, the helplines at the bottom of this page are staffed day and night.

Questions people ask

Are there divorce support groups for women in South Africa?
Yes. Besides church-run courses such as DivorceCare and several Facebook groups, After Divorce runs free women-only meetups in person that are not religious and need no sign-up.
What happens at a women's meetup?
A small group of divorced or separated women meets for a walk, coffee or supper. Someone greets you when you arrive. You talk about the divorce as much or as little as you like.
Can I bring my children?
To the Saturday parkrun, yes. The midweek meetups are adults only so that you get an evening off.
Do I have to go to the mixed events?
No. The mixed socials and singles nights are separate and optional. Many women only ever come to the women's meetups.
