Last month, Calm Waters hosted our annual breakfast fundraiser, Ripples of Hope, presented by Duit Holdings, Inc.

The morning was spent in the company of fellow members of the Oklahoma City community who are passionate about mental health in our state. We heard from our inspiring guest speaker, Oklahoma Secretary of Agriculture Blayne Arthur, honored Judy Mee with the Mainsail Award, all emceed by News 9's Lacie Lowry.

We want to thank everyone who sponsored, donated, participated in the silent auction, and those who helped make the event such a success. All money raised went back to supporting Calm Waters' life-changing programs and services for those grieving from death, divorce, or other significant loss.

Today, on National Grief Awareness Day, we honor every child who has felt alone in their grief - like Jason, whose story led to the founding of Calm Waters in 1992.

No child should ever feel like “the only one” after a loss. In Oklahoma, 1 in 10 children will lose a parent or sibling, and schools are often on the frontlines of that grief. We’re here to help.

That’s why we created a free resource guide for teachers - so every child, like Jason, feels seen, supported, and cared for in their community after experiencing a profound loss.

Please follow the link in our bio to access the free Teacher Resource Guide.

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. Family members are divided into age appropriate groups including children groups, teen groups, young adult and adult groups. All family members may attend or a single adult; minors cannot attend groups without a guardian present. Both parents are welcome to attend, we have at least two adult groups, therefore each co-parent may attend their own group. Consistent attendance is most beneficial for the family. Register for a divorce support group online at: https://www.calmwaters.org/calm-waters-divorce-support-group-registration-form/ For all groups, once your online registration form has been received, a Calm Waters’ staff member will contact you to schedule an intake appointment prior to the beginning of groups. The intake appointment determines group readiness and is required for all who want to attend a Calm Waters group.
