Description:  It is important to have a plan when there are children in your home. Let’s discuss having the safest home environment possible. 

Since this is more of a facilitated discussion instead of one of our regular trainings/webinars, Training Credits will not be available.

The Parent Cafes are a monthly, relaxed discussion around Parenting Topics. Participants are encouraged to bring YOUR OWN ISSUES, and gain insights and resources!
