The Salvation Army Greenfield House - OK Kids Program

The provision of support groups for kids who are affected by parental incarceration is a small step in changing how our community views these children. By giving them an outlet to express how they are feeling in a safe and structured environment without prejudice and judgment, we will begin to break down the walls of silence and shame. One step at a time, little by little This can only be accomplished when children are acknowledged, heard and responded to. They are doing time, they face hardship outside the prison even though they are innocent and not responsible for the choices of family and/or caregivers to commit crimes. This support group will allow these kids to develop a sense of community while teaching them valuable social skills such as how to communicate, how to work within a team, sharing, providing feedback, expressing empathy, where to get help and how to ask for it and building healthy trust It will give them the opportunity to make meaningful and positive changes in their lifestyle by giving them the tools to believe in themselves and their abilities.
