More information
Seasons for Growth focuses on helping to develop an understanding of the impact of change, loss and grief and explores how we can learn to live with and grow from these experiences.

Companions routinely facilitate small groups for children and young people within the authority and continue to be supported by Educational Psychologists and trained Coordinators.
