Family estrangement, or no longer speaking to someone you used to be close to/are related to, is much more common than you might think. During this two hour workshop, we will talk about different meanings behind and types of family estrangement, uncover some insightful facts that will make you feel less alone (did you know for example that 1 in 5 UK families are touched by family estrangement and its consequences), discuss some of the reasons someone may distance themselves from their family, hear some personal stories from those who have experienced family estrangement and look at ways to cope and manage with this experience.
Due to the specific and emotive nature of this topic, we will have a variety of specialised support services that we will talk about and will ask you, on enrolment, if there is anyone you wish not to have contact with so that we can ensure you do not run in to them on the same workshop.
This course will be delivered by our partners at Wakefield Recovery College.

Always kind, thoughtful, considerate and allowing the leaner to go at their own pace no matter what the subject to hand.
