The Parent Cafe

Strong families are the foundation of strong communities and a strong society. Our social fabric is fraying. According to a recent U.S. Surgeon General’s Report (Our Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation, 2023), we are currently experiencing an epidemic of loneliness that not only has major physical and mental health consequences but also is weakening our ability to stand together as a country. All Be Strong Families offerings intentionally strengthen social ties between parents and children, among family members, within schools and family-serving programs, and in communities. Whether through Parent Cafés, Living the Protective Factors or other skill-building workshops, a game of Questionable, or coloring book parent–child time, join us and be part of a groundswell of positive change.
