The Center for the Study of Social Policy (CSSP) is hosting a webinar to present a new cafe model from Be Strong Families. Recognizing that a strong family is also a healthy family, Be Strong Families has developed Vitality Cafes to enhance the well-being of parents. Vitality Cafés provide an opportunity for informal but highly structured small group conversations (based on the Be Strong Families Parent Café model) that promote peer-to-peer learning and deep individual self-reflection. Vitality Cafés are organized around six Vitality Domains: Physical, Mental / Emotional, Spiritual, Social, Financial, Environmental. Vitality Cafe conversations both assist participants in charting their own path towards holistic wellness and transform well-being from a personal struggle to a community-based journey. This webinar will briefly review how Be Strong Families developed and spread Parent Cafés before diving into the Vitality Domains and Cafés and crosswalk with the Strengthening Families Protective Factors.
