Calm Waters is central Oklahoma’s only grief center, dedicated to meeting our community’s need for effective, evidence-based grief support programming. Calm Waters' Grief Support for Incarcerated Oklahomans program provides free Grief Support Groups and Grief Workshops to detainees at the Oklahoma County Detention Center. This mental health resource is the only program offered to those detained in the facility. Since the program's inception in January of 2023, it has shown success at the jail, indicating that a continuation and expansion of these services is critical to the population.
