"The Loss of a parent through divorce or death can overwhelm a child with unfamiliar emotions. The RAINBOWS program works to help children through crises with an innovative intervention program
devised to teach coping and communication skills. By addressing the
needs of children and families before their difficulties become too
overwhelming can mean a world of difference to children." |

The Foundation for Families in Transformation
The Foundation for Families in Transformation is a not-for-profit, registered charitable organization that is dedicated to helping children, adolescents and adults in understanding, accepting, healing and moving forward after a loss due to death, divorce, separation, abandonment or other painful family transition.
We are making a Difference
Founded in July 1998, FFIT currently partners with 70 schools, churches and social agencies in 30 cities and towns across Alberta, to serve close to 1,000 children and adults of all ages and religious denominations every year. All programs are offered free of charge to participants.
By helping people to heal their unresolved grief, we are working toward the prevention of devastating consequences such as suicide, substance abuse, juvenile delinquency and teenage pregnancy. Feedback tells us we are also positively impacting students' academic performance and adult productivity in the workplace.
