Adult Seasons for Growth Program

Our Lady of Fatima warmly invites parents to express their interest in joining the Seasons for Growth program — a supportive and reflective series designed to foster resilience and healing. Sessions will be facilitated by Mrs Lisa Mann, creating a safe space for personal growth and shared stories.

Seasons for Growth is a small group education program that supports adults to develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes to understand and respond well to experiences of change, loss and grief.

Seasons for Growth supports adults who have experienced change and loss, including, family separation; loss or death of someone they care about; relocation and forced migration; physical or mental illness; or impacts of war, terrorism or pandemics. The program incorporates sound adult learning principles to help build resilience and promote the social and emotional wellbeing of adults as they adapt to change, loss and grief in their lives.

Seasons for Growth supports connection with others going through similar circumstances, fostering emotional literacy and resilience as a pathway to improved social and emotional wellbeing. Specifically, the program provides a safe learning environment for adults to:

• Acknowledge their experiences and recognise they are ‘not the only one’
• Understand that their feelings and other behavioral reactions are normal
• Develop skills for coping, positive choices, goal-setting and decision making
• Build a peer support network and a felt sense of belonging and connection

• Help restore self-confidence, self-esteem and self-respect
