Rainbows Divorce & Separation Support
is a free program designed to provide support and camaraderie for all children and youth (K-12) who are experiencing separation/divorce. The program is delivered by a trained facilitator whose goal is to assist children and youth in expressing and understanding their feelings, accepting what has happened, and to help them experience a sense of belonging. This group can be valuable even if you are not currently seeing a shift in your child’s emotions or behaviour. To obtain more information about the Rainbows Program or for the consent form, please contact Laura Wellmann at Canmore FCSS by phone 403.678.7131 or by email [email protected].

When we started Community Conversations, our goal was to bring the Bow Valley Community together through conversations that inspire, challenge, and connect us as individuals. We carefully selected a topic each month that we felt might resonate with the community. We have talked about everything from hygge and hope to giving thanks and curiosity. But this month, we want to try something different: instead of planning a topic in advance, we want the conversations that you are already having to be the topic.
This month, tell us what you and your community are talking about. You know, the conversations that you have at the dinner table, in the line at the grocery store, on the bus, at school, on the way to school, in the staff room, on the hiking trails, and everywhere in between. As we talk about what we’re talking about, we’ll ask: what do these conversations mean to you? What do they mean for our community? What are we not talking about? What surprises us about these conversations?
Join us in conversation on Thursday, November 18 from 7 – 8 p.m. on Zoom:
This conversation is hosted by Right from the Start, YWCA Banff, Bow Valley Addiction and Mental Health, and Canmore FCSS.
