A new programme for children and young people experiencing grief is starting in Ballinasloe this evening.
'Rainbows' provides peer group support for children and young people experiencing grief due to bereavement, parental separation, or family breakdown.
The group is described as a safe, compassionate space where children and young people cant alk about difficult feelings and connect with others their own age who have had similar experiences.
The Family Resource Centre, Ballinasloe Social Services is hosting the first session of Rainbows from 5-6pm this evening.
