Seasons For Growth Programme
Seasons for Growth is a change, loss and grief education programme for children who have suffered loss through bereavement, divorce or separation. It supports young people as they work in a group to understand and learn the skills to manage the issues they experience when death, separation, divorce or other major changes occur in their lives. We will be running a Seasons for Growth Group here in Our Lady of the Missions over the coming months. In previous years it has proved to be a highly successful way of equipping children with relevant skills to cope with different types of loss. For full information and details of information session for parents- see link to letter below.
