The MacKillop Seasons programs draw upon the metaphor of the seasons to illustrate the experience of grief. Delivered in a series of small group sessions, participants learn that they are not alone in their experiences of change and loss, exploring the impact of grief in a safe and supported environment.
Delivered by Companions (trained facilitators who live and work in the community), participants connect with others going through similar experiences and they learn the knowledge, skills and attitudes required to understand and manage their experiences of change, loss and grief. The programs foster emotional literacy and resilience to improve social and emotional wellbeing.
