Café Conversations
Café Conversations
Who?
Parents or guardians and their middle-school youth.
What?
An interactive workshop featuring guided conversations and family activities.
Why?
To strengthen communication, build resilience, and help families navigate today's challenges together
What to Expect
During these events, families will:
Participate in fun, hands-on activities
Learn practical communication strategies
Practice starting difficult conversations
Build confidence discussing challenging topics
Receive resources to continue conversations at home
Café Conversations provides tools you can use long after the event ends. Each parent/guardian goes home with a conversation jar, which allows you to continue to ask important questions to get to know your youth.
Why it matters
Research shows that parents remain one of the strongest influences in a young person's life. When families communicate openly about expectations, relationships, substance use, and everyday challenges, teens are more likely to make healthy decisions.
Café Conversations helps remove the uncertainty and gives families a place to start. Simple questions from the Café Conversations’ jars can help families develop their conversations naturally, and give youth a safe outlet to reach out to.
