Finding and using local supports and services
Up-to-date information on mental health conditions and how they affect the brain

What People Are Saying
"The course gave me hope that it will be okay, that I am not alone and reduced a lot of shame, guilt and hopelessness."
"I wish I'd known about this seven years ago when the problem began. I felt safe in this class. I was able to talk about things I haven't been comfortable expressing elsewhere."
"Before I took the course, I felt alone and overwhelmed dealing with my daughter’s mental illness. By taking this course, I have met others who are going through the same things I am and have learned about many resources that I never knew existed."
"I thought my wife and I knew just about everything there is to know about the system and the illness. Boy, were we wrong. Without a doubt, this is the best support course I have had the privilege of taking part in, bar none."

Parent Café - Sherwood
Meet and connect with other parents and caregivers, and learn about the Protective Factors to support your family.
Are you a parent or caregiver, looking to connect with other parents/caregivers in a welcoming space?
Parent Cafés are physically and emotionally safe spaces where people talk and listen to each other on topics that matter to them, such as the challenges and victories of raising a family, navigating landscapes of inequality, enhancing well-being, or being involved in the recovery process of someone they love. Through individual deep self-reflection and peer-to-peer learning, participants explore their strengths, learn about the Protective Factors, and create strategies from their own wisdom and experiences to strengthen their families.
You will leave this Café feeling inspired, energized, and excited to put into practice what you've learned.
Parent Cafés are based on the Protective Factors Framework. You'll learn about each of the 5 protective factors at the event, including: parental resilience, social connections, concrete support in times of need, knowledge of parenting and child development, and social and emotional competence of children.
Snacks and light refreshments will be provided!
Childcare is provided for children over 12 months. If you have an infant, you are welcome to bring them and have them with you for the event.
Made possible with the support of the Washington County Department of Health and Human Services.
