Peaceful Family Oklahoma provides free child-centered programs to children ages 4-18 and their caregivers. We offer the only
peer-to-peer program in Oklahoma specifically designed to help children affected by addiction in their families. Children are introduced to treatment and recovery, while their grown-ups receive tools to become better caregivers and strengthen their relationship with their kids.
By creating a positive, safe and fun environment with other kids in their same situations, we provide a chance for children to just be "kids," not burdened by the adult worries and responsibilities they may have taken on at home.
Through activities like games, icebreakers, play and recreation, children learn key concepts such as:
- their parent's addiction is a disease and is not their fault,
- all feelings are okay, and,
- a child's job is to be a kid.
We also provide continuing care opportunities that allows the children and caregivers to reconnect with fellow participants and continue to develop healthy coping skills.
