Parent Cafés

The U-46 Family Welcome Center hosts “Parent Cafes” regularly at schools throughout the District. During these cafes, parents have the opportunity to talk with other caregivers about the challenges and rewards of raising a family. They also learn about five “protective factors” — such as social connections and knowledge of parenting —that have been shown to keep children safe and families strong. Through individual self-reflection and peer-to-peer learning, participants create strategies from their own wisdom and experiences to help strengthen their families. Participants leave Parent Cafes feeling inspired, energized, and excited to put into practice what they've learned! 

The sessions are held in Spanish. 

Parents and guardians are welcome to attend a Parent Cafe even if their child does not attend that specific school. For a complete schedule and registration information, see below.
