What We Do
What We Do
Most bereaved children, teens, and adults do not need therapy after a death. Grief support groups allow participants to share in an emotionally safe, fun setting while removing social isolation. Services follow two best practice models - The Dougy Center Model of peer-facilitated grief support combined with therapeutic art/play, and the Eagala Model of equine-assisted learning. In addition, children and teens benefit from therapeutic miniature horse interactions.

Why It Matters
Why It Matters
According the 2024 Childhood Bereavement Estimation Model (CBEM), *1 in 11 children in Florida & 1 in 9 children in South Carolina will experience the death of a parent or sibling by the age of 18 (Judi’s House, 2024). Without support, these children are at great risk of negative physical and emotional behaviors. In addition, grieving children are being raised by grieving adults who also benefit from support. Participating in a group setting provides a special camaraderie by being with people who "get it." Tomorrow's Rainbow supports your entire family in their grief.

My kids lost their Dad in the summer of 2018. He took his life. We were devastated, hopeless, and lost. My kids were 10 and 7 years old at the time. My therapist from church suggested your amazing place. Despite being a bit far, I took my kids there, and even today, they remember this special place. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart

❝ The members of Tomorrow's Rainbow have been so kind and honest. This is a safe place where other people can come together to share tips about their grief journeys. It really does make a difference to know that you are not alone in your journey as the parent/caregiver of a little one that is also experiencing loss. Little by little, the impact grows and the healing happens. Though the move through grief is gradual, I have learned that, likewise, the healing is also gradual.

❝ The biggest impact Tomorrow's Rainbow has made on me has been watching my son care for the animals and knowing that he feels that he's safe here. He knows he doesn't have to share if he doesn't want to. I take comfort in knowing that there are others here who have lost loved ones and will be a support system. Tomorrow's Rainbow genuinely cares for the people attending groups.
