Parent Cafés: A Parent-to-Parent Approach
Join Ken and Michelle as they learn all about Parent Cafés with three amazing guests: Tiffany Murphy, Be Strong Families, Training manager, Ty Anderson, Be Strong Families, Senior Training and Technical assistance Provider, and Adrian Amo, director of Family and Community Engagement with the Idaho AEYC.
Idaho AEYC is bringing Parent Cafés to the State of Idaho in a BIG WAY!
From the Be Strong Families Website:
"In Cafés every voice is valued, and everyone has the opportunity to both learn and lead. First developed in 2007 by parent leaders from Strengthening Families Illinois, the Parent Café process remains a parent-to-parent way to build the Strengthening Families™ Protective Factors within families.
Cafés are physically and emotionally safe spaces where people talk and listen to each other on topics that matter to them, such as the challenges and victories of raising a family, navigating landscapes of inequality, enhancing well-being, or being involved in the recovery process of someone they love. Through individual deep self-reflection and peer-to-peer learning, participants explore their strengths, learn about the Protective Factors, and create strategies from their own wisdom and experiences to strengthen their families. Participants leave Cafés feeling inspired, energized, and excited to put into practice what they’ve learned.
Cafés are highly sustainable with training reinforcement, institutional support, and a commitment to an approach that engages and affirms parents as leaders. They were developed as an in-person experience and have now been adapted, with fidelity, to be hosted online."
