About

Seasons for Growth is a supportive, evidence‑based program that helps adults understand and respond to experiences of change, loss and grief.

Life changes such as family separation, the loss of a loved one, work changes, or other significant transitions can be difficult to process. This program provides a safe, structured environment where participants can explore their feelings, build understanding, and learn healthy ways to cope.

Using the metaphor of the seasons, the program helps adults see that change and loss are a natural part of life. Through guided activities and shared experiences, participants are supported to build resilience, strengthen emotional wellbeing, and feel less alone in what they are going through.

What will I learn?

• A better understanding of change, loss and grief
• Skills to recognise and express emotions in healthy ways
• Confidence to cope with life changes and challenges
• Strategies for decision making, problem solving and resilience
• A sense of connection and belonging with others experiencing similar situations

Who is it for? 

Individuals who have experienced change, loss or grief, including:

• Family separation or divorce
• Death of a loved one or significant loss (not suitable if loss is within the last 6 months)
• relocation or forced migration
• Job or income loss
