A Parent Café is a meeting of parents, for parents, and by parents designed to create opportunities to connect, share, and learn from each other, so they are able to meet the needs of their families.
WHAT TO EXPECT
A Parent Café is a meeting that allows parents to connect, share, and learn from each other. The table topics encourage meaningful conversation–no judgment, just positive interaction. Parents discuss, reflect, and gain knowledge that strengthens parenting skills. This is a series of three sessions, so parents can continue earlier conversations.
Parents and caregivers of children with Autism will come together to enjoy dinner, and promote growth in the 5 Protective Factors:
-Parental Resilience – how to bounce back
-Child Development – being a parent is part natural & part learned
-Social Connections – parents need friends, too
-Social and Emotional Competence – parents need to help their children
-Concrete Support in Times of Need – we all need help sometimes
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This event is open to parents and caregivers of individuals with Autism. Each session is limited to 25 participants.
