Growing Strong Families Through Hope and Goals
Jan 13, 2026, 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM
Zoom
This Parent Café focuses on the role of hope and goal setting in everyday parenting. Participants will discuss what hope really means, how goals support progress, and how families can plan for challenges when things don’t go as expected. The session includes simple tools, guided discussion, and practical examples that parents can apply at home to support consistency, problem-solving, and follow-through. The format encourages shared learning and realistic strategies that fit into daily family routines.
By the end of the Café, parents will:
✔Explain why hope and goal-setting are important for both parents and children
✔Identify the key parts of hope—goals, belief (agency), and pathways—and how they work together
✔Use simple tools to set goals and create backup plans when challenges come up
✔Practice everyday ways to build hope in themselves and their children
‼️Registration is required; the Zoom link will be sent out 3 days in advance.
There will be a door prize drawing at the end of the café, plus a chance to be entered into a larger quarterly drawing for a family pass (such as a zoo membership)!
**To be eligible for the quarterly drawing, you must live in the Thriving Families Alliance service area, which includes the following counties: Harrison, Monona, Shelby, Cass, Montgomery, Mills, Fremont, Page, and Pottawattamie.
Hope and goals help families grow stronger. Join us for this Parent Café where we’ll talk about why hope matters, how goals help both parents and kids, and simple ways to keep moving forward when life feels hard.
