About Us
Divorce Support Group in DC Metro Area
NEW BEGINNINGS® is a marital separation support group for separated and divorced men and women the DC metro area (MD, DC and VA). Established in 1979, we are the oldest and only group in the metro area that deals strictly with separation/divorce and is open to people with or without children. Contact us in Olney, Maryland, to learn more about our separation and divorce support group.
A marital separation is a wrenching experience which can happen to anyone at any time for a variety of reasons. We believe that by sharing feelings with other people in similar situations, we can gain a better perspective on the process of separation and thereby begin to build a new life. This is our first task—because the one certainty is that our lives cannot remain the same.
NEW BEGINNINGS® discussion meetings are held in members' homes, several times a month, and are open to non-members. Led by NB members trained to guide the discussion, these meetings offer a chance to talk to others who share and understand your concerns.

NEW BEGINNINGS GOES FULLY ONLINE
Like everyone else, we are finding new ways to connect. Until further notice, all NB meetings will be online. Our monthly Dinner & Movie Nights will resume when it is safe to gather.
An online meeting will never be the same as an in-person one. We don’t pretend that it is. But it is better than nothing, and we are exceedingly grateful to have this option to keep our services alive when so many other organizations must cancel, postpone or close entirely.
There are, in fact, several advantages to online discussions:
-
You only have to look presentable from the neck up.
-
You don’t have to drive anywhere. The gas and travel time you save can be spent shopping online or bingeing on Netflix.
-
You can attend any of them, regardless of where you live.
-
We can offer more of them because we don’t need physical locations.
-
We can have a meeting with as few as 2 participants, so they are less likely to be canceled.
-
Online meetings are FREE for both members & non-members (for now at least).
Thank you for your flexibility and willingness to embrace change. We understand that this is
hard. NB members have always been courageous, resilient and quick to show compassion toward others. This is a chance to do that in a different way. We can do this—together.
