Change and loss are issues that affect all of us at some stage in our lives. At OLOR we recognise that when changes occur in families through death, separation, divorce or related circumstances, young people may benefit from learning how to manage these changes effectively. We therefore offer the education program Seasons for Growth. This program is facilitated in small groups 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 issues such as self-esteem, managing feelings, problem-solving, decision-making, effective communication and support networks. 

The Seasons for Growth program consists of 8 sessions exploring grief using the imagery of seasons. This program is designed for 5-12 year olds. Sessions are held within school time.

OLOR is pleased to be able to offer this important program and we are confident that it will be a valuable learning experience for those who request to be involved.
