It was put together by Rainbows which is a non-profit organization committed to helping children and teens grieve and grow after loss. Go to www.Rainbows.ca.

Rainbows offer peer support for children of all ages who are grieving a loss. Since 1983, it has served over 2.5 million kids working through schools, faith communities, agencies and other organizations. There are 7 age-specific programs that really help kids express their feelings, learn and grow through their parents’ divorce. It is an amazing program.

I recently met the founder of Rainbows, Suzy Yehl Marta, at the Annual General Meeting of Rainbows Canada. She is an amazing person and Rainbows is a great organization. I am so proud to be on the Board of Directors for Canada.
