Resilient Rainbow Kids offers young people an opportunity to make friends, have fun, and talk in a safe environment as well as strengthening skills to deal with situations that have arisen or one day might arise.

A parent’s testimonial of Resilient rainbow Kids: ‘Scott has really enjoyed your group and found the other kids lots of fun. He chatted about the sessions for ages. Even though he has other rainbow family friends, he sees this group as special, perhaps because you discuss things that he doesn’t with his other friends.’

Groups begin with a parent session where parents can ask questions, air concerns, provide the facilitator with information regarding your child, hear about research regarding the children of rainbow families and, where possible, hear from a parent of a child who has completed a group. The children will then attend the group over the following three weeks.

2012 Dates:

Groups will be held each school term with one age group per term. Please register your interest in the groups.

The first parent session for 2012 is to be held in February/March followed by three 1 ½ hour sessions attended by the children. The grade levels of the children in the first group for the year will be determined by interest and numbers.
