For over 30 years, the Ridgewood Y has been humbled to offer Rainbows for All Children, a program dedicated to supporting children who are experiencing grief due to family loss. Led by compassionate, trained facilitators, Rainbows is a confidential peer-support program for children and adolescents ages 4 through 8th grade that addresses their needs as they navigate life events such as divorce, death, deployment, and more. The program offers young participants an opportunity to understand their grief experience, find a source of emotional healing, build a strong sense of self-confidence, and reach a healthy resolution. Together, they work to build appropriate tools for coping: listening, sharing, and helping each other.
