Summary of Topics Covered:

Rainbows is a 9 week peer group support programme with trained facilitators and between 4 – 8 children.
Children and trained Facilitators can build:
A safe space to meet with others who understand, empathise, and connect with each other through their shared feelings and experiences.
A space to begin to find their voice and talk about difficult feelings in a safe and supportive environment
A sense of belonging and comfort with others in the group, without any spotlight on an individual child.

Benefits for children:
Gain insight, understanding and self-awareness from listening to others in the group.
Develop coping skills that help a child/young person begin to adapt and adjust to life without a special person or life where the family unit has changed.
Improved social isolation, and a decrease in feelings of isolation, loneliness, feeling different
Improved self-confidence and self-worth
Enhance and boost emotional and psychological wellbeing following significant change, transition and loss.
