Connect With Parents to Strengthen Your Family

Together, parents can come up with the solutions to our problems and resolve difficult family issues — and build deep, useful friendships along the way. You can start connecting with other parents to strengthen your family now:

PARENT CAFÉS

Love Is Not Enough Parent Cafés are conversations with other parents about what it takes to keep our own families strong. They take place in early childhood centers and other friendly environments, and they're a safe place to talk about the “hard stuff." Trained parents lead the discussion as we explore questions that really matter—about taking care of yourself, raising strong children, and building strong relationships with your children.

DISCUSSION BOARD

The Love Is Not Enough discussion board is a place to post and read about important topics for ourselves and our families. Look up a thread on a parenting challenge you're facing, or share a success story to inspire and help others.
