    Hi all,

    Just asking on behalf of my soon to be divorced 65 year old father if there's any support groups for people of his age? Preferably not BE which kind of makes it awkward as it seems to be the only one on offer!

    TIA

    I have to say I found Beginning Experience to be great. I was made welcome the talks were taught inspiring and it was a great way to meet like minded folk I also completed a couple of residential weekends too. I can understand it's not for everyone but just by getting out there and talking to like minded people it can be of great help. From a male point of view it's not very easy to open up and talk in a group but by god it's sooo worth it and the relief and weight that is lifted from your shoulders.

    Maybe you could look up Men's Sheds in your area...another group I keep meaning to join.
