Guiding Children Through Life’s Storms

Rainbows (Ages 8-10 years)

Children can have difficulty managing their emotions when adjusting to change or trying to cope with the absence of a loved one. Help your child grieve and grow through these programs offering support and healing for children who are experiencing a deployment, separation, divorce, death or transition within their family. 

Children will participate using journals, activities and reflections that are designed to help them express their feelings and learn new coping strategies in a safe, supportive environment. Each session will provide children with opportunities to build positive and trusting relationships with peers and adults while strengthening their confidence, building their self-esteem, improving their communication, and developing their problem-solving abilities.

Open to: youth from CAF, Veteran, Defence Community families and Families of the Fallen
