Calm Waters Center for Children and Families offers free support groups for children, ages 3 – 18, and their families whose lives have been affected by death or divorce.
Oklahoma continues to rank amongst the top states in the nation for unintentional and premature deaths, leaving single parents raising children. Additionally, Oklahoma continues to have one of the highest divorce rates per capita in the nation. These tragedies leave children feeling isolated, sad, and uncertain.
In Calm Waters Support Groups, children will learn tools to help them through their grief process such as, self-care and support, coping with feelings, communication, and an opportunity to connect with peers who have similar experiences.
· Calm Waters Divorce Support Groups are offered on Tuesdays or Thursdays, and meet weekly for eight weeks from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The first Divorce Support Group will begin the week of August 24th.
· Calm Waters Grief Support Groups are offered on Mondays, and meet weekly for 16 weeks from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The first Grief Support Group will begin August 24th.
