Biographical Info

Seasons for Growth is a grief and loss education programme delivered across Taranaki.

Seasons for Growth is a peer support programme for young people aged 6-18 who are suffering grief and loss through death or life threatening illness of a parent or close relative; separation or divorce of parents; long-term imprisonment of a parent or close family member; long-term placement with foster parents; migration or other circumstances. The programme runs for eight weekly sessions and guides young people along a structured journey to explore feelings and develop sustainable coping strategies for grief and loss.

There are also programmes helping parents to support their children in grief and a programme for adult grief.
