Parent Advocacy Network
Swansea, Wales, UK

In 2022, Be Strong Families began a relationship with the Parent Advocacy Network in Swansea, Wales, UK. Their goal was to embed Cafés as a participatory family engagement strategy for families with child welfare system involvement across the West Glenmorgan Region. The first step was to review and culturally adapt Parent Café questions. Subsequently, Be Strong Families traveled to Wales to provide on site Parent Café training. This was followed by online training: Taking Your Cafés Online and Vitality Café Add-On. Cafés are ongoing and the Wales Café team has presented on Parent Cafés at a UK child welfare conference in London to potentially expand the reach of Cafés across the United Kingdom.
