Parent Cafe’s assist parents with enhancing their social and emotional skills, learn to appreciate the value of active listening, and learn how to respond to challenging situations as opposed to reacting.
The Matthews House family programs were created to aid in securing the foundation of loving familial structures. We help families set and attain goals and support them in the process.

Trauma-Informed Parenting
ChildSafe's Trauma-Informed Parenting Class is a unique, relationship-based approach to parenting traumatized children and those with attachment challenges. This approach provides a trauma-informed explanation of "acting out" behaviors. Caregivers will learn how children escalate through behaviors, as well as how to respond to their children during these times. When children and caregivers expand their ability to emotionally tolerate stressful situations, behavior naturally improves.
This class is appropriate for biological parents, adoptive parents, foster parents, and kinship-care providers.
Some Program Topics
● Emotional regulation and dysregulation
● Window of stress tolerance
● Trauma and memory
● Acting out behaviors, i.e. lying, stealing, aggression, etc.
● Signs and stages of verbal and behavioral escalation
● Caregiver responses to decrease escalation
● Setting appropriate and enforceable limits
