Rainbows

When something significant happens in a family, the entire family is affected. If parents separate or a parent dies or a painful loss occurs, not only do the parents grieve, the children do also. Children find it difficult to verbalise their feelings of grief because of their age and inexperience. It may surface in their behavior, schoolwork and emotional well-being.

Rainbows is a support group that helps children put their feelings into words, work through their grief, build a stronger sense of self esteem, and begin to accept what has taken place in the family. It is not a counseling course. It is a safe, confidential setting where children will share their grief associated feelings with each other and with trained facilitators.
