As part of our Home/School/Pastoral Care programme, St. Finnachta’s NS is considering offering young people who have experienced loss and change in their family (through bereavement, separation or divorce), the opportunity to participate in the Rainbows 12 week programme – which already takes place in over 500 schools and parishes throughout the country.
Rainbows Ireland, a registered charity, is a peer-support programme to assist children and young people experiencing a significant loss in their lives through a death, separation or divorce in their family. Founded in Chicago, USA in 1983, Rainbows was established in Ireland in 1988. Today Rainbows operates in all thirty two counties of Ireland.
Rainbows helps by providing a safe setting in which children and young people can share their feelings, emotions and struggles with others who have similar experiences. They are supported in this process by a trained facilitator.
Further information and details of how to apply are available from Ms. Edel McMahon who can be contacted through the school office on (061) 369544.
