More about Rainbows For All Children

Rainbows For All Children is an international, nonprofit organization that fosters emotional healing for children grieving a loss or life-altering crisis.  Since 1983, Rainbows has helped more than 2.6 million children in the wake of their personal or community tragedies.  Rainbows forms partnerships with schools, faith communities and social service agencies so they may establish grief support groups and help vulnerable children.  Rainbows developed eight age-appropriate curricula and an extensive, interactive online training for the site’s volunteers.

The goals include helping children to develop and strengthen coping skills, learn appropriate behavior and anger management, alleviate depression, and reduce emotional pain and suffering.  These coping tools will build the confidence and self-esteem of these hurting children, improve communication in their families and peer relationships, prevent destructive behaviors such as involvement with gangs, alcohol and drug abuse, and ultimately improve school attendance and academic performance.
