Join us to celebrate victories, explore challenges and learn more about our kids and ourselves. The informal but structured café conversations encourage us to reflect on our strengths and share our wisdom and experience with other parents. We will gain insights and tools for strengthening our families….and we will experience a dose of joy together! This Cafe is virtual. The Zoom app is required.
