Abstract
Seasons for Growth is an innovative, evidence-based change, loss and grief education program that draws on the metaphor of the seasons to understand the experience of grief. It builds the knowledge and skills necessary to strengthen social and emotional wellbeing following significant loss by:
• Exploring the impact of change and loss
• Learning about effective ways to respond and adapt
Participants learn that they are not alone in their experience of change, loss and grief, and are able to build their communication, decision making and problem solving skills within the context of a safe and supportive peer group learning environment.
Launched in 1996, over 300,000 children, young people and adults have participated in Seasons for Growth programs in Australia, New Zealand, Scotland, Ireland, England and Wales. The Seasons for Growth suite of programs offered by MacKillop Family Services / the MacKillop Institute. Find out more here: https://www.mackillop.org.au/institute/good-grief.
This updated 3rd edition of the Companion manual is available to those who complete the facilitator training for the Seasons for Growth Children and Young People’s Program. It contains all of the session plans to run Levels 4 of the Children and Young People’s program, which is aimed at young people aged approximately 13-18 years. There has also been an adaptation of this program, developed in partnership with Headspace, the National Youth Mental Health Foundation, specifically for use in contexts where there is a suicide in a school community.
Anne Graham is the founding author of the Seasons for Growth suite of programs. Supporting children and young people to adapt to change, loss and grief is a key research focus of Southern Cross University's Centre for Children and Young People.
