Spectrum

Adolescents face many difficult obstacles as they begin to learn their place in the world. For many teens, one of the most distressing challenges can be changes that occur in their families through death, divorce, or other painful transitions.

Young adults need a chance to express their feelings, positive and negative. Yet, they may be too unsure of themselves to take the risk. Like adults, they fear rejection or lack of understanding. Spectrum provides the opportunity for teens to be with others their age who are walking the same journey.

Sensitive, caring, trained adults act as Facilitators who help teens put their feelings into words, work through their grief, build a stronger sense of self-esteem, and to begin to accept what has taken place. This program is available in interdenominational religious or secular versions.

The Spectrum Adolescent Edition is available to registered sites and new sites working with our Registered Directors to help teens through their own grief journey. This curricula contains Coordinator Manuals, Facilitator Modules, Making Things Better interactive, personal Journals for the participants, and three discussion driven Large Group Activities (games) to help the participants express, accept, and understand their feelings about what is happening in their lives.
