Rainbows is a support group for all district 54 students who are living in single parent families, stepfamilies or families that are going through painful transitions in dealing with loss. When something significant happens in a family, the entire family is affected. Even though death or divorce appears to be only a grown-up problem, it does have profound effects on the children it touches. If a parent dies or a divorce occurs, not only do the parents grieve, the children do also. Because of their age and short life experience, children find it extremely difficult to verbalize those feelings.
