Idaho AEYC is expanding support for foster and kinship families by ensuring caregivers have the resources and support they need to help children thrive. 💙

Through new e-learning opportunities and Parent Café Host training, we’re equipping organizations with the tools to facilitate meaningful, strengths-based conversations that help foster and kinship families build social connections, share experiences, and strengthen protective factors!

Idaho AEYC had the pleasure of hosting a Parent Café Demonstration last week for our Treasure Valley partners! Research shows that 97% of Parent Café participants leave feeling more confident and less alone, and our partners experienced that power firsthand:

“We’re not alone in this, and parents need to hear that. Not everyone has a spouse or other adults, but this provides a space for them to know other people are dealing with the same stuff."

We can’t wait to see more Parent Cafés take root across the Treasure Valley and create spaces for families to connect and support one another!
