The Rainbows program is a weekly support group for children, kindergarten through eighth level. Rainbows is an international program for children who are experiencing grief, either through divorce, or loss of a friend or loved one.
Even though death, divorce or losses appear to be only grown-up problems, they have a profound effect on the children touched by these experiences. Because of their age and short life experience, children find it extremely difficult to verbalize their feelings of grief. Rainbows 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.
If a child is part of a single parent family, a stepfamily, has experienced the death of a loved family member, friend or sibling, or is struggling with a painful experience, this program is an opportunity for him/her to share on the outside what is happening on the inside.
