Seasons for Growth
at Carers Link
Understanding change, loss and grief
Seasons for Growth is an innovative Australian grief and loss education programme that uses the imagery of the seasons to illustrate the experience of grief. It does not provide counselling or therapy. Carers Link runs both one off seminars and the adult programme, check out our events calendar to see if any are coming up, or email whatson@carerslink.org.uk to express your interest in attending.
What does it do?
Seasons for Growth aims to strengthen the social and emotional wellbeing of adults who are dealing with significant life changes by:
• Exploring the impact of the change and loss on
everyday life
• Learning new ways to respond to these changes
Who is it for?
Anyone who is living with the effects of change and loss. Many factors can cause change such as:
• Friends can come and go
• Loss of someone or something you love
• Parents and families separate
• Moving to a new place
• Impact of illness
• Family work-life changes
Change affects everyone differently, as does grief. It’s the impact of the change, not the event itself that Seasons for Growth focuses on. Find out more on the Seasons for Growth website
