Strong Roots Parent Café Training
Become a certified host
Strong Roots Parent Cafés offer parent support and connection through peer-led community-based conversations to promote reflection and resilience from pregnancy through early childhood. Strong Roots Parent Cafés are an adaptation of the Parent Café model from the national organization, Be Strong Families, and incorporate key Strong Roots protective factors that include parental self-care, social connections, an attachment-based parenting framework, and connection to community-based resources. Strong Roots Parent Cafés support all families whether or not they have experienced other Strong Roots programs.
For parents who have previously participated in Strong Roots groups, Strong Roots Parent Cafés may provide an opportunity for ongoing support and connection.
