Rainbows Progamme

‘S é Rainbows clár le cabhair agus tacaíocht a ofráil d’aon leanbh atá ag iarraidh plé le caílliúint d’aon tsaghas ina saol. Tugann an clár tacaíocht a gcomhleacaithe do leanaí atá taréis dul trí chailliúint amhail bás, scaradh, colscaradh srl. Is féidir ana bhuairt a bheith ar leanbh leis an gcailliúint seo agus bíonn ar alán leanaí dul tríd gan chabhair ná tacaíocht. D’fheadfadh Rainbows difríocht a dhéanamh. Ní chomhairleoireacht, ná teiripeá ata i gceist le Rainbow ach tacaíocht óna gcomhleacaithe do pháistí cráite le duine fásta oilte ceanúil. Aidhm an chláir ná tuiscint a thabhairt don leanbh ar a chlann nua mar aonad, a fhéin mhuinín a laidriú agus cabhrú leo glacadh leis na hathruithe atá taréis tarlú ina saol.

Rainbows is a programme offering help and support to any child trying to cope with loss in their lives. The programme offers peer support to children who have experienced a loss through death, separation, divorce etc. Such grieving can cause much pain and for many is carried without help and support – Rainbows is not counselling or therapy but a peer support group for a grieving child with a trained and caring adult. The aim of the programme is to give the children an understanding of their new family unit, to build a stronger sense of self-esteem and to help them towards an acceptance of the changes that have taken place in their lives.
