Goals and Outcomes: Project was not implemented by the ClearinghouseÂ
Calm Waters proposes the development and implementation of NEW programming for infants, toddlers, and caregivers coping with the death of a loved one. This initiative will support families navigating loss through 3 key components: specialized support groups, workshops for caregivers, and training for Calm Waters staff to effectively work with the infant/caregiver dyad. Support groups will create safe, nurturing environments where infants, toddlers and caregivers can engage in structured activities that promote healthy emotional development. These groups will foster positive interactions and connection with peers and their caregivers. Early socialization is crucial, laying the groundwork for emotional regulation, empathy, and communication skills.
