Young Adult Beginning Experience (YABE) is a weekend program of healing, support and celebration of life and faith for those who have experienced parental death or divorce.
The weekend helps you...
• know you are not alone if you come from a divorced, separated or widowed family.
• discover the wonder of being alive.
The weekend is not...
• a sensitivity group or a substitute for counseling.
• a religious retreat, but does have a Christian foundation.
The weekend offers...
• a fresh and different atmosphere to discover who you are away from your home, job and/or school.
• an opportunity to share your hopes, concerns and ideals.
• hope in facing tomorrow.
• a time to make new beginnings in your relationships with yourself, family, friends and God.
• a chance to make new friends.
The weekend has changed lives:
"I found out I don't have to put up a front with my feelings. I can be a better person if I free myself from pretending my feelings are something they aren't." Janet age 19
"I realized that I am a gift from God and God doesn't want me to cover anything up. I had covered up a lot of hurt from the past. I feel lighter now." Norman age 24
"I learned that feeling are neither good or bad, but that they just are. I also learned that many other people experience the same feelings that I do." Mike age 20
"I discovered that I wasn't alone and there were people I could talk to and they would understand because they went through it too." Julie age 17
