Rainbows Program

Rainbows is an international not-for-profit organization that helps children and youth grieve and grow after loss. Every day, children are touched by the rollercoaster of emotions related to the death, divorce, deployment or incarceration of a loved one. While many children are resilient, we know that many do not bounce back without help.
 
Rainbows provides a safe, supportive environments for children and youth, aged 13-18 years, to better understand and process their feelings and learn positive coping strategies to help them move from hurt through healing to hope.
 
Rainbows is provided free of charge to children and youth and is available at many MFRCs. Find out more on Rainbows by calling 1-877-403-2733.
