Dads Parent Café in a Box

Designed by fathers for fathers.

REVISED AND EXPANDED! The Dads Parent Café in a Box opens the door to authentic, engaging dialogue around a variety of father-focused topics, including societal expectations of men as parents, being a positive male role model in the family unit, challenges and successes as expressed by fathers, co-parenting in the modern world, and much more. If you are trying to connect with fathers, this Café in a Box can do just that by assisting organizations, parents, and community members in expanding their Café themes and attracting more fathers to get involved in support programs.

This revamped deck features 55 Café cards (total 275 questions) in both English and Spanish, with questions consistent with best practices for father engagement in family service and fatherhood programs. It includes updated content based on feedback from the Be Strong Families community and fosters a safe and trusting environment for fathers or mixed-gender groups to learn about the Strengthening Families™ Protective Factors while building and encouraging deep self-reflection and peer-to-peer learning.
