Parenting and Development Groups

Parent Cafés are a nationally recognized parent-to-peer learning process to keep children safe and families strong. We provide meaningful, guided conversations about what matters most to families. 

Through Parent Cafés you will:

  • Interact and share challenges with other parents
  • Get ideas and learn new resources and skills
  • Realize the essential role you play as a parent 
  • Build protective factors 

Words of Wisdom: #WOWTalk 

Our youth‑led, trauma‑informed group conversations create a safe, supportive space where young people can connect, grow, and be heard.

  • Through guided peer discussions, participants strengthen social skills, build healthy relationships, and develop confidence in expressing themselves.
  • This environment encourages exploration of self‑worth, identity, and emotions while introducing healthier coping strategies.
  • Youth are empowered to support one another, foster resilience, and grow together in a community rooted in trust, empathy, and respect.

Development Groups include ADHD and Autism Parenting Support, Nurturing Parenting, SibShop, Music and Motion, Circle Time and much more.
