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.

January Discussion Topics
ACHIEVING AN EMOTIONAL DIVORCE: The real divorce occurs when we stop letting our ex push our buttons. Whether years before the separation or years after, how do we achieve an emotional divorce?
FAMILY TIES: How did your immediate & extended family respond to your separation? What has been the impact on relationships with siblings, parents, in-laws & grand-kids?
BUILDING NEW SOCIAL NETWORKS: What to do & where to go to expand social and support networks, especially if recently separated.
FIRST DATE FRUSTRATIONS: EVERYONE feels anxiety about starting to date again--are the rules different now? What are your fears & expectations?
RELATIONSHIP ETIQUETTE: Is there a code of behavior for meeting & mating? Let's talk about it, from beginnings to endings & all the stages inbetween.
