Welcome To Rainbows Nanaimo
A Place For Healing
We are a non-profit organization, and we are looking forward to a peaceful world by helping each other to join hands together to bring a better future for all children.
About Us
Rainbows provide support to families going through a major loss or change in their family. This program provides much-needed support to children, teens, and their parents as they grieve and deal with changes in their family life. Trained volunteers and school staff facilitate small groups. They work through 12 topics together and kids learn that they are not alone and are not to blame for their family’s change. Kids and parents feel listened to and cared for as they learn about feelings and coping skills. The kids love the activities, journal games, snacks, and the fact that their community cares!
