Breaking up, separation, and divorce can be devastating – but may also provide the opportunity for self-examination and a new beginning. There is nothing easy about ending a love relationship. Breaking up is seldom the ideal resolution to problems within relationships, but all too often is the outcome, despite our best efforts to prevent it.

Improvement Planning Pathways and Pitfalls - Part One
You can't encourage and support what you don't know is happening. The most interesting and useful local change and improvement initiatives rarely make it into reports or formal channels.
