Christmas is a particularly challenging time of year for any families who have lost a loved one. By giving a family the opportunity to attend the Rainbow Centre cancel ceremony they have a chance to remember their loved ones and give thanks for the time that they did have together in a supported environment. £10 will provide the candles, support and refreshments for a family to attend this ceremony. |

Give the Gift of Therapy |
|
Sponsor a music therapy session. Music is a powerful medium which can affect all of us deeply. In music therapy sessions, musical communication is created between the child and the therapist to communicate feelings that a child affected by death or a life threatening disease of a parent or sibling may not be able to overcome their grief and fulfil their true potential. |

The death of a parent or sibling can make the world seem like a very dark place. Art therapy is a valuable means of non-verbal communication. It can help children and adolescents express and explore difficult feelings like pain, anger or guilt. Working through very difficult feelings is hard but there can be pleasure and fun along the art therapy way. Sponsor an art therapy session. |

At times of crisis in our life, such as when a child or parent is diagnosed with a life threatening illness, or when a loved one dies, we find ourselves beset by many painful emotions. At the Rainbow Centre our clients find that being able to talk to an experienced counsellor who will not cry, pity or make fatuous remarks may be helpful during such difficult times. Help lend an ear to someone in crisis. |

Play is a child’s medium to learn, to communicate and to explore their worlds. Through play, a child can express in a safe way their pain and grief, anger, sadness and confusion. In a session children may use sand, clay, painting, drama or other creative means to explore more difficult feelings. Children aged three to twelve years need to be able to play to develop, especially after the death of a parent, or brother or sister. Help a child fulfil their potential by giving a play therapy session at the Rainbow Centre. |

Many children when they first visit the Centre, express a wish to meet others who are going through a similar experience to themselves. Although group-work does not take the place of the individual sessions that many children need, the very nature of a group offers something that can be very helpful to the grieving process of a child. In our groups, we aim to provide a safe place in which children can remember their loved ones who have died and to explore some of their difficult feelings. We use art, crafts, music, picture and story making and other creative means to assist this process, although for each weekly session we maintain the same basic structure which also contains plenty of opportunity for children to speak about whatever they wish in a free way. We hope that children through being part of the group will learn coping strategies and find ways of moving forward in a new way as the experience of death is integrated into their daily life. Finally, the groups tend to be far from gloomy. We do explore a lot of sadness and tears, but most of those who have taken part so far have also experienced some joy and some have said that they wished their group could go on and on forever – but then, everything has to end sometime, doesn’t it? |
