Seasons for Growth is a small group program that combines psychology and education with peer support, within a person centred learning approach. It uses the metaphor of the seasons to explore the cyclic nature of grief, and is underpinned by William Worden’s tasks of grieving. The Children and Young People’s program contains developmentally appropriate discussions and activities. Seasons for Growth normalises participants’ experiences, and can increase protective factors (including building personal resilience and social skills) while minimising some risk factors (including isolation) that influence mental health and wellbeing. The program also supports the development of communication, decision making and problem solving skills.
The program consists of three levels. Each level includes eight weekly sessions, a final celebration session and two subsequent reconnector sessions (that range from 40 minutes to an hour depending on age).
Programs will be run:
1. at participating schools at a time and day as discussed with the schools. Children can be referred by the school or may register their interest through the school. Only children attending school where the program is being run can attend the session
2. at a designated venue as organised by WIN to allow children to attend outside of school hours
