Kid Calm Group

Who

Kid Calm is for kids ages 7-10 who want to learn how to calm their bodies and brains.

What

Kid Calm is a hands-on skills group focused on helping kids increase their ability to manage big feelings. Group members will learn ways to maintain a calmer body and mind by both learning a new coping skill, and by creating a tool for their calm kit each week. Parents will receive a parent binder that contains information about the skills learned each week. Binder also includes information about the tool created in each group session so they can help the child be successful at home. Additional purchase list will also be provided to parents to enhance the Calm Kit after group is complete.

When

The next group will meet on four Saturdays from 10:00 – 11:30am in Fall 2026. Dates will be announced soon!
