Seasons for Growth
Children & Young People’s Program
Learning to live with change and loss
Everyone is affected by change and loss at some time in our lives. At St Mary’s College, we recognise that when changes occur such as separation, divorce, death, school transitions and natural disasters children may benefit from learning the skills to manage these changes effectively. We are offering a program called Seasons for Growth.
This program is facilitated in small age-appropriate groups of up to 8 participants and is based on research which highlights the importance of social support and the need to practice new skills to cope effectively with change and loss.
The program focuses on building skills such as how to manage feelings, problem-solving, decision-making, effective communication and develops peer support networks. Participation in the program can promote improved self-esteem and self-confidence as well as giving children the opportunity to find their own voice amid change.
If you think your child/young person would benefit from joining the Seasons for Growth program, we encourage you to talk to them about it. We are pleased to be able to offer this successful program and we are confident that it will be a valuable learning experience for those involved.
