Seasons for Growth
Programmes
Seasons for Growth consists of three programmes for children, young people or adults who have experienced significant change or loss.
Seasons for Growth is based on the belief that change, loss and grief are a normal and valuable part of life. We examine the impact of changes such as death, separation, divorce, and natural disaster on our lives, and explore how we can learn to live with and grow from these experiences.
The core intentions of these programmes are the development of resilience and emotional literacy to promote social and emotional wellbeing. Programmes are educational in nature and do not provide therapy.
Trained Companions
We use the imagery of the four seasons to illustrate that grief is cyclical, not a linear journey with a clear end. Trained “Companions” facilitate small groups where participants share their experiences, and support and learn from one another. Peer support is a key element of the programme, and confidentiality is strongly emphasised.
Since its launch in 1996, Seasons for Growth has reached over 100,000 children, young people and adults in Scotland.
Worldwide, in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Scotland, Ireland, England, and Wales, Seasons has supported over 400,000 children, young people and adults.
