Growing Through Grief - Tauranga


Growing Through Grief- Tauranga provides the Seasons™ programme of peer support groups for children and young people who are missing someone important from their daily life.

The loss may be due to the death of someone close to them, the separation or divorce of parents, having a family member in prison, or other major family change.

Age appropriate groups are available for children and young people between 5 and 18 years.

Groups may also be available for parents and caregivers who bring children to Seasons.

Programmes are also available for those affected by a family member having a serious or life threatening illness.
