Rainbows for all Children
Rainbows for All Children’s programming offers a safe, age-appropriate space to navigate loss and uncertainty.
Rainbows for All Children is an international, nonprofit organization that trains volunteers at community-based sites to lead structured, age-specific support groups for children 3-18 years old who are grieving the loss of a family member as a result of death, separation/divorce, incarceration, deployment, deportation, significant illness, or any other traumatic, life-altering event.
About Rainbows:
What a Rainbows support group can do for your children
Unlike traditional individual therapy, children are able to grieve, communicate, and heal among their peers.
They no longer feel alone in their grief and gain confidence from group support.
Improve their school attendance, behavior and academic performance
Help develop and strengthen their problem-solving, coping and communication skills
Teach stress and anger management
Alleviate their depression and anxiety, emotional pain, and suffering
Reduce the likelihood of destructive behaviour
“As a parent of four children who attended Rainbows, I can speak with experience that the group helped explain to my children what divorce is, allowed an environment for them to bond with others in similar situations, and taught them empathy and understanding in a way I couldn’t. Parents can have a difficult time providing help for their children due to their own grief. This is a way to give them the help they need.”
