The Online Vitality Café Team Training prepares parents and providers to produce and host Be Strong Families' Online Vitality Cafés!
This experiential, interactive three-day workshop for 4-6 person parent / provider teams per agency sets a foundation for parent-led parent engagement through the use of Café materials, activities, and practice opportunities that emphasize deep self-reflection and peer-to-peer learning.
Be Strong Families Online Vitality Cafés build community, trust, and the Six Domains of Vitality. After this workshop, participants will have the basic knowledge and skills to bring Cafés to life and thereby to deliver a family support service with parents taking the lead and providers supporting them. The Training introduces the different types of Vitality Cafés an agency can do—from General Vitality Cafés, Domain-Specific Vitality Cafés, and Themed Vitality Cafés.
After this training, participants will be certified to host Be Strong Families’ Cafés based on the Domains of Vitality, currently: Grief Compass Café, Parents of Children with Disabilities Café, and Recovering Together Café (additional 4-hour training required for certification with Recovering Together Café).
