Phoenix

‘Mental health is not a destination, but a process. It’s about how you drive, not where you are going’

Just like the Greek mythological creature, the phoenix regenerates itself by rising from the ashes.

This stage of separation is seen to be the most difficult. It is when we are in our drunken phase, where life appears to be a hazy dream layered with a side of vertigo. This is the time when we need the most help.

The types of guidance during this phase can include:

• A sounding board for personal situations and strategies to navigate this period
• Review of home finances and income options
• Separation and logistics
• Mediation services available and what to expect
• Children and parenting plans
• Checklists for next steps eg. Change of name, transfer of titles, court vs mediation etc.
• Review of mental health and supports
