Rainbows Ireland

Ozanam House is a Community Resource Centre operated by the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul, which offers programmes and courses that develop skills and provide support in a wide variety of areas. One programme that they provide for children is Rainbows Ireland. 

Rainbows is a free, voluntary service for children and young people experiencing loss following bereavement and parental separation.
The Rainbows service is an inclusive service, supporting children and young people experiencing grief and loss resulting from bereavement/parental separation/parental relationship breakdown /divorce.
Attending the programme provides children with an opportunity to meet with other children of a similar age and loss experience, at a minimum of 3 months after the loss.
It does not provide an individual one to one support service and does not provide counselling or a therapeutic level of intervention.
The service is not and cannot be considered as a first response for a bereavement or loss that may be a more traumatic loss experience e.g. murder, suicide, car accident.

Please feel free to contact me if you would like a referral form or more information regarding the programme.

Thank you,
