A Taste of Cafés

Our Taste of Café series gives you a preview of Cafés—Be Strong Families’ internationally known, structured, small group conversations! Join us Fridays and Wednesdays for a free session where you can take part in peer-to-peer conversations that facilitate transformation, healing, and strength within families.

Theme: A Mile in Their Shoes (A Military Parent/ Spouse Café)
Date: Friday, September 5, 2025 Time: 12 – 1:30 pm CT
Date: Wednesday, September 10, 2025 Time: 6 pm – 7:30 pm CT

We all face different challenges, and sometimes we can’t truly understand what others are going through unless we make an effort to "walk a mile in their shoes." When we walk a mile in someone else's shoes, we become more understanding, and more connected to those around us. It’s the first step toward building a supportive community where everyone feels heard and valued. Be Strong Families’ Parent Café is a place where shared experiences and community support empower spouses to walk the mile ahead with resilience and strength. This café will provide an opportunity for military spouses to explore the unique challenges of military life, and to share the highs and lows of their journey together.

Theme: Act Two: Celebrating Grandparents!
Date: Friday, September 19, 2025 Time: 12 – 1:30 pm CT

In life’s grand performance, becoming a grandparent marks a powerful and meaningful “Act Two.” Join our Café as we celebrate the joy, wisdom, and renewed purpose that grandparents bring into our families. Let’s shine a spotlight on the beauty of Act Two—where love deepens, legacies grow, and family ties flourish inspiring the next generation with love and experience.
