Brewin Dolphin are hosting a series of free, in-person workshops to provide women with practical advice, emotional support, and a safe space to connect with others who understand what you’re going through….
An invitation to women who are looking for support, information and community who are embarking on or already in the process of a divorce or separation.
We also welcome friends or family who have loved ones going through divorce and would like more information to support them through it.
Marriage can be incredibly hard. For those considering what life might be like separating or have concerns and questions having started that process, we are offering access to trained professionals who can steer you through the often emotional and difficult journey of the legal, financial, emotional, and practical impacts of separation.
We are hosting a series of free in person workshops to discuss the different elements of separation starting from how to discuss difficult topics with children, to money and life after separation.
At each session, brunch will be served while a panel of expert speakers discuss key topics in an intimate and safe environment with a small group of women.
Create your tribe and meet others who are considering, going through or perhaps coming out the other end of a separation. The aim of the series of events is to meet like-minded ladies, feel empowered by knowledge and reassured by the continued support of being part of a community.
