Children can experience grief following significant life events such as the death of a loved one, divorce and separation, illness impacting their family, relocation or natural disasters.
Seasons for Growth creatively explores how grief and change impact everyday life and teaches new ways to respond. The program uses the imagery of the seasons to support children through their experiences of change, grief and loss.
The program runs for eight weeks and is suitable for children aged 6-12 years who have experienced significant change, grief or loss. Sibilings do not attend the same group.
Engadine Uniting Church will be hosting Seasons for Growth on Wednesdays afternoons (4-5pm) during Term Two.
