Welcome to Independent Muslim Women (IMW) - Divorce Support Group!
We are dedicated to support, empower, and aid Muslim women who have been divorced or are going through a divorce. We share ideas, experiences, resources, and tools to help us become stronger and overcome common issues related to divorce in the Muslim Community.
Insha’Allah may you find benefit from joining our group and attending our sessions and may Allah make the trial of going through a divorce easier for you.
This group meets once a month and is open for any all to join. We maintain strict confidentiality and meet to share and gain from each other’s experiences.
If you are in Chicago, need someone to talk to or lean on…send me a line and I will introduce you into the group! We would love to have you!
Thanks for the support NYCG! I really hope some women out there can benefit from this!
Just to clarify and respond to some emails I received:
We dont bash men and we dont encourage the man-hating mentality.
This group is meant to support progress and encourage growth in all areas of life.
During some meetings, we also have a social worker present to advise when necessary. All types of people can potentially benefit from the sessions and the activities we do. We just did a movie night this past Sunday. We do potlucks regularly.
If anyone is interested in sitting in, please PM me. You dont have to share your story, you can just listen to us or participate in the discussions. Its actually a lot of fun to be around educated, accomplished women who are coming together to simply be there for each other.
congratulations and something positive and good i've come across. count me in if i can be of any help in any possible way. it'll be my ple3asure to be a part of this worthwhile cause :)
