What is Seasons for Growth?

Seasons for Growth is an evidence-informed programme designed to strengthen the social and emotional wellbeing of children and young people aged 6-18 who are experiencing the effects of change and loss.

Participants are supported to:

✅ Explore the impact of change and loss on everyday life
✅ Understand that grief and change affect everyone differently
✅ Learn positive ways to respond to change and build resilience

Who is it for?

The programme supports children and young people experiencing a range of life changes, including:

🍃 Loss of someone or something important
🏠 Moving home or changing school
👨‍👩‍👧 Family separation or changes in family circumstances
🤝 Changes in friendships and relationships
💙 The impact of illness
💼 Changes in family work-life circumstances

Seasons for Growth focuses on the impact of the change, rather than the event itself, recognising that everyone’s experience is unique.

👉 Please book via Business World.
