If you are experiencing the pain of separation, divorce, or the breakdown of a significant relationship, you do not have to face it alone.

The Restored Lives Course is a supportive and practical programme designed to help people process loss, rebuild confidence, and find hope for the future. Whether your separation happened recently or many years ago, Restored Lives provides a safe and welcoming environment where you can learn alongside others who understand what you’re going through.

What is Restored Lives?

Restored Lives helps participants navigate the emotional and practical challenges that can follow separation or divorce.

Over a series of sessions, the course explores topics including:

  • Coping with grief and loss
  • Managing difficult emotions
  • Rebuilding self-esteem and confidence
  • Supporting children through family change
  • Forgiveness and moving forward
  • Developing healthy relationships in the future
  • Finding hope and purpose again

The course combines practical teaching, personal reflection, and opportunities for discussion in a confidential and supportive setting.

Who is the Course For?

The Restored Lives Course is suitable for adults who are separated or divorced, recently or at any time in the past, who are looking for non-judgmental practical and emotional support.

You do not need to be a member of Dundonald Church or have a Christian faith to attend. Everyone is welcome.

A Safe and Supportive Environment

Many people describe separation and divorce as one of life’s most difficult experiences. Restored Lives offers a place where you can share as much or as little as you wish, listen to others’ experiences, and gain practical tools for the journey ahead.

Our aim is to help participants move from simply surviving to finding renewed hope and confidence for the future.

  • "The best thing about the course is having free and frank conversations with each other about our journeys, emotions, past and future. It is a sustained conversation, not just one night or a weekend"

    - Jenny, Restored Lives Participant

  • "The best thing about the course is being connected to a group of people who were in a similar position as I am and hearing how they were handling their situation. Reading the book or watching the videos alone would have been difficult without having a group to discuss with. "
