A new Seasons for Growth 3 year initiative – apply today

MacKillop Family Services will support young people following suicide and other losses by building the capacity of leadership and staff in Australian secondary school communities to deliver the Seasons for Growth evidence-based change, loss and grief education programs.

Seasons for Life strengthens the capacity of young people, and the adults supporting them, to understand and respond well to change, loss and grief. This initiative is a strategically targeted tier-2 intervention that builds on the established 25-year evidence base of the Seasons for Growth loss and grief education program.

Seasons for Growth was created by Prof Anne Graham AO, Director of the Centre for Children and Young People, Southern Cross University; and is provided by MacKillop Family Services.

Funded by the Department of Health and Ageing (2022-25), Seasons for Life is overseen by a national Advisory Group and will be evaluated by an external university partner.
