This organisation runs education programs to support 6-18 year olds who have experienced a loss or change in their family through death, parental separation or divorce, migration, imprisonment, fostering, relationship break-down, a family member with a serious illness or any similar significant change. Small groups of 3-6 participants, facilitated by two screened, trained and police vetted adult volunteers, called Companions, meet once a week, for an hour, for 8 weeks, for activities and discussion on topics including change, feelings, personal stories, good choices and self-care. Programs run throughout Taranaki each school term and the region is currently recruiting volunteers to train as Companions in 2024. Important personal attributes would include: • some experience working with children and/or adolescents • enjoy and care about children and young people, being fully committed to their safety • be a team player, comfortable in group work and willing to learn • have some experience of change, loss and grief • have a sense of humour and have 2-3 hours a week for each 8 week program you facilitate. The next training workshop will be over the weekend of Friday 11th October to Sunday 13th October 2024.
