Paradise Kids......the community program that I support!
This is a community program that I hold dear to my heart. I have worked and supported Paradise Kids over the past 5 years on a voluntary basis and I continue to do so.
. I believe that we have a true need here in Australia for our young children and young adults. Paradise KIds was formed on the Gold Coast in 1996 to provide grief and loss and illness support for children and their families, whether it's a death of a parent, sibling or significan other, an illness, a separation or divorce, or other experiences of loss.
"Helping to heal the Heartache"...is their aim
Paradise Kids offers:
Separate Support Programs for the ill child and their family
Individual expert Counselling for children, adults and families.
Provides support and skills to help children and families cope with the stress of illness, as well as other experiences of loss and grief. The program works through a series of seven sessions, which have different themes.
The program uses a mixture of story, art, music, meditation,guided imagery and stress reduction exercises. This enables the child to understand change as a natural part of life and to accept their feelings about the illness and the limits placed on their previously normal life. It also acknowledges the stresses placed on the child's family.
Children can have a wide range of emotions about their experience of illness and this can include feelings of guilt about causing problems for others. Through the program, they are encouraged to share their feelings so they have a better understanding of what is happening to them, have their fears alleviated and learn inner life skills to self-soothe.
Please support this program with donations as it is a FREE service to the community and is reliant on the volunteers and the donations to continue to provide this valuable and much needed service to the community.
