Parent Workshops
Children Trust Michigan is proudly hosting Parent workshops to bring Michigan Families together to discuss common parenting topics.
Parent Cafes
What is a Parent Cafe?
Just like kids have friends to help them, parents need friends too! At a Parent Café, they listen to each other’s stories, give advice, and learn new ways to make home life happy and healthy. It’s like a team meeting, but for parents. Some topics that could be discussed are:
- Challenges
- Victories
- Navigating landscapes of inequality
- Enhancing well-being
- Being involved in the recovery process of someone they love
- So much more!

- Having good friends or family who help.
- Living in a place where people help each other.
Importance of Protective Factors:
- Research shows that protective factors help kids feel better and happier.
