Inside Out 4 Kids - Change, Grief and Loss Support Program
Inside Out 4 Kids is a peer support, education program providing a healthy path toward healing for children and young people who are dealing with significant change. The aim of the program is to assist children through the grief process when confronted with a change, loss or transition in their lives, for example family breakdown or the death of someone close to them.
The program consists of eight weekly sessions that run for 45 minutes each, during school hours. Children meet in small support groups (2 – 5 members) with a trained facilitator. In this safe environment students are encouraged to talk, listen, as well as take part in games and activities, to develop strategies they can use to process their loss or change. There is no cost involved.
Over the 8 week x 45 minute sessions the program covers:
- Week 1 My Story
- Week 2 Emotions and Feelings
- Week 3 Emotions, Feelings and Anger
- Week 4 My Heart, Grief and Loss
- Week 5 Memories and Moving On
- Week 6 I Belong, A Sense of Self Identity
- Week 7 Connection and Hope
- Week 8 Celebration Week
Our Chaplain Stephen Avery will be facilitating this program in Term 4.
