Rainbows

Has your child been affected by a life altering crisis like divorce or death of a parent?

The YMCA-YWCA offers a safe and supportive environment for children, youth and adults to process their feelings through a unique peer support program.

Rainbows is an International not-for-profit organization that fosters emotional healing among children, youth and adults grieving a loss from a life-altering crisis.

The curriculum is designed to assist children, youth and adults who are grieving a death, divorce or any other painful transition in their family within a safe, supportive environment with a unique peer assisted program.

Our trained volunteers facilitate these programs in numerous community sites throughout the Greater Saint John Area.
