The Seasons for Growth Programme is an 8 week programme that explores grief using the seasons of the year and peer support to help young people understand and begin to process and accept the reality of loss. It is recommended that a young person be included in the programme only after a period of 6 months or more has passed from the time of their specific loss. We group pupils according to their age and groups are normally no bigger than 10 participants at a time. Young people are invited to participate following a recommendation by parents/carers and/or Pastoral staff.
