For families affected by the July 4th shooting in Highland Park, IL who are interested in Rainbows for All Children support groups. Age-specific groups will most likely be held in Highland Park, Deerfield, and/or Evanston and are open to any participant from any of those communities or neighboring areas.
Silver Linings is our support group program for children and teens, ages 3-18, who are grieving as the result of a community crisis, such as this recent shooting on July 4th. The age-specific groups are led by trained and certified adult facilitators and children participate in activities that provide them coping techniques, healthy ways to manage anger and stress, and a safe and confidential place to share their feelings and feel less alone. There is never a cost to any participant to attend these groups.
**If you are looking for a support group in another community or state, please contact us at (847) 952-1770 or info@rainbows.org.**
By signing up here, you are simply going to receive information about the groups as soon as we have details, and can decide then if you would like your child/teen (or self) to attend. Please visit
www.rainbows.org to learn more about the programs. If you have additional questions or concerns, please email

If you are interested in a group for more than one child or teen, please submit a separate form for each one.
