SHANNON FAMILY RESOURCE CENTRE IS A RAINBOWS SITE
Shannon Family Resource Centre is a registered Rainbows site, therefore we have trained facilitators who can run the Rainbows bereavement and separation programmes to young people aged 7-15 years in the community.
Rainbows is a free, voluntary service for children and young people experiencing loss following bereavement and parental separation. The Rainbows service is an inclusive service, supporting children and young people experiencing grief and loss resulting from bereavement/parental separation/parental relationship breakdown /divorce. Attending the programme provides children with an opportunity to meet with other children of a similar age and loss experience, at a minimum of 3 months after the loss.
The vision of the programme is that the grief experienced by children and young people in Ireland, following a significant loss in their lives, is recognised and that they are offered the understanding and support necessary to foster emotional well-being.
A group of children and young people of similar age and loss experience, meet in a safe welcoming environment with trained facilitators . Space and opportunity are provided to confidentially tell and re–tell, share and re–share, explore and re-explore feelings and emotions. Participants come to identify, understand, accept and come to terms with many conflicting emotions.
