Divorce Care & Support Meet the Founders
A number of folk who have been members of DCS for a while and have been designated "Managers or Assitant Managers" stay involved long after recovery for a number of reasons: -
They have the experience of being separated/divorced and so can relate to your feelings -
They have the experience of using this site, Message Boards, Chat Room and Resources and so are in a good position to resolve problems that do arise as a result of communicationg through these media. -
The have a sense of gratitude for what they have been given through their membership and wish to give something back. -
They have a strong desire to keep DCS safe and functional for current AND future members. They can only be described on screen as Managers/Assistant Managers because that is the only term available under MSN constraints. It would be more realistic though to see them as helpers in a number of roles: -
As facilitators in Chat. -
As both contributors and moderators to posts on the Message Board or Chat room conversations. -
As janitors keeping DCS safe for members and tidying out of date Resource information, broken links or adding new Resources. -
As policy makers and guides when an issue arises that requires existing policies to be changed or new ones added.( http://groups.msn.com/DivorceCareSupport/divorcecaresupportpolicies.msnw). However, what makes DCS work is not the managers whatever role they take on, it is you the members ministering to each other through identifying the pain of divorce with your own experience. Like anything in life you get back what you put in and this is very true of DCS. So if anyone asks what makes DCS work the answer is "You Do!" | Mitzi
