Parent Cafe

Presented by the Sophia Center

Parent Cafes are an opportunity for all caregivers to share experiences, offer support, and connect with other parents in the community.

We encourage anyone who helps take care of children to participate in this event; whether you are a grandparent, foster parent, friend or family member who helps raise children, this is an opportunity you will enjoy.

Parent Cafes bring parents and caregivers together to combine the intimacy of small group dialogue with the excitement of larger group learning. These cafes are driven by the knowledge and wisdom that parents can bring to one another to share experiences, resources and knowledge that will strengthen their own families. Guided by trained parent hosts, parents gather in small groups and explore questions that really matter to them.

Please join with other parents in your community for this fun and judgement free environment where we focus on peer-to-peer learning, deep reflection, and building Protective Factors. Make connections in the community while empowering each other to successfully raise children in safe, strong, supportive, and connected families. Get to know each other in 3 consecutive sessions.

Cafe's follow the Ohio Children's Trust Fund strengthening family's framework. This organization's goal is to invest in strong communities, healthy families, and safe children. Click here to learn more about Strengthening Families Ohio
