Men in Divorce Gain Help With Group
by Dr. Paul J. Melrose
For the growing number of people who have just been divorced or are thinking of leaving a troubled marriage and are experiencing loneliness, depression and confusion, there is a group that can help.
But the group is not for ladies. This group is only for men. A six-week group primarily for 40- to 59-year-old men who are divorced or who are leaving a marriage after many years is offered by Dr. Paul Melrose, senior staff therapist and former director of the Foundation for Religion and Mental Health.
"I'm trying to fill a need out there," Melrose said. "One major advantage for men to attend the groups is to have a place to be with professionals and colleagues who are in a similar experience, in a supportive fashion."
