Calm Waters Center for Children and Families

Calm Waters Center for Children and Families Calm Waters provides free grief support services for children and families on their grief journey caused by death, divorce or other significant loss.

GRIEF SUPPORT GROUP
Tuesday evenings from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., every other week. Our grief support groups are on-going, meaning, families may join a group at any time and stay connected for as long as needed. Families attend the same night together, but participants are divided by age, type of death and who died. Grief support groups are for ages 3 to adult. DIVORCE SUPPORT GROUPS
Thursday evenings

from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., every other week. In order to attend divorce support groups, children must be aware that parents are divorcing. Co-parents who were never married and going through a custody change may also attend. Divorce support groups are for ages 3 to adult. CALM WATERS AT SCHOOL
School-Based Groups: Calm Waters sends staff and trained facilitators into metro-area schools to conduct school-based support groups to assist children with a variety of losses, including death, divorce, foster care issues, and the incarceration or deployment of a parent or guardian. All questions or inquiries about our programs can be directed to 405-841-4800 or [email protected]

Before we say goodbye to July, we're looking back at Camp Courage! ⏪🎨

We had a full day of art camp at our agency supporting campers ages 6-12 who’ve experienced the death of a loved one or are anticipating the death of a loved one.

Throughout the day, campers created mosaics, wrote letters to their person, practiced songwriting, made "Invisible String" bracelets, crafted emotion puppets, folded origami, and more to honor their grief journeys.

We're so grateful for our dedicated staff, volunteers, and sponsors (Primrose School of NW Oklahoma City & Regent Bank ) who made this day possible–thank you!
