Next on our list of news updates...

We would like to congratulate our Intern, Carmen, who recently graduated from Bradley University with her Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Carmen will be staying at CalmWaters while she continues to work towards her counseling licensure. We are honored to have her on our team, and it has been a blessing to be part of her journey. We are all very impressed by the hard work and dedication we have consistently seen from Carmen since she joined us last May.

Please help us celebrate Carmen and this great achievement!! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฅธ๐ŸŽ“

Two New Opportunities for Personal Growth at CalmWaters Counseling

If you have been looking for a space to reconnect with yourself, reset before the holidays, or learn practical tools for healthier relationships, we have two upcoming groups designed with you in mind!

Spirituality & Bliss โ€” November 19

A one-session, 1.5-hour experience focused on exploring what spirituality means to you; whether that is grounding, purpose, creativity, or connection.
Spots are still available! If you have been curious, now is the perfect time to join.

Healthy Boundaries Group โ€” December 3

We are excited to introduce our newest offering. This workshop will help you understand your boundaries, communicate them confidently, and protect your emotional well-being.
If setting limits has been a challenge, this group will give you a strong starting point.

How to Sign Up:
Registration for both groups is the same. Reach out through our page or contact the CalmWaters office to reserve your spot.

Both flyers are posted below. If either group speaks to you, we would love to support you in taking that next step.

The holiday season is almost here, and weโ€™re thrilled to spread some cheer!

CalmWaters Counseling & Resource Center is hosting a Holiday Gift Wrapping Event for our Alton community this December. While the event itself is organized and run by CalmWaters, we are proud to share that a portion of the donations collected will directly benefit Sacred Spaces of Care, a local organization supporting individuals and families in Alton.

Bring your gifts to be wrapped by our student volunteers! Suggested donations per gift help support local causes, including Sacred Spaces of Care:
Small $2โ€“$3 | Medium $4โ€“$5 | Large $6โ€“$8 | Oversized $10+
Register for a drop-off window and pick up your beautifully wrapped gifts later that day.

๐ŸŽ€ High School Students:
Weโ€™re also welcoming student volunteers to help wrap gifts, greet families, organize donations, and more. Shifts are 1โ€“1.5 hours, and community service hours will be verified.

๐Ÿ“… Event Dates:
Wednesday, December 10 | 3:00 PM โ€“ 8:00 PM
Saturday, December 20 | 9:00 AM โ€“ 2:00 PM

๐Ÿ“ Location:
CalmWaters Counseling & Resource Center
108 Northport Drive, Alton, IL 62002

This community event is a wonderful way to give back, support a local organization, and celebrate the season together.

๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ๐ŸŒปSeason change, time change, staff change...๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

It's a good thing we know a few therapists! We celebrated Jessica's last day at CalmWaters today. We wish her well on her next journey, and know she will be successful in anything she does! Jess was the boss's boss, the heart of this well-oiled machine, the jack-of-all-trades, the Queen of "other duties as assigned," but also known as the Office Manager. We couldn't have done all that we do without her. We love you, Jess! ๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿซถ

Change can bring new opportunities to evolve and grow. ๐ŸŒฆ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒบ Jess has spent the last month training our new Office Manager, Dawn. We are excited to see how Dawn spices up our team and takes on the hefty task of keeping us all in line! We have no doubt she will be our next rockstar at CalmWaters. Stay tuned for a special introduction post to learn all about Dawn! Be sure to give her a warm welcome when you see her! ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿค
