Be Strong Families strives to have the next conversation—to go where others are not yet going, to approach pressing issues in ways that are fresh and real. We offer technical assistance and trainings to create peer-to-peer discussions that promote vitality, provide emotional healing and foster peace. These transformative conversations not only prevent violence and fight oppression, they give hope, create amazing leaders, and help overlooked communities thrive. We partner with a diverse team of community leaders, teachers, social workers, small business owners, parents, youth, thinkers, and dreamers to lead online webinars, workshops, and professional development trainings that further shared mission.

Through a grant, we were able to provide Parent Café.  This was our first year, and it was a beautiful journey!   

 Carol Stevens, Ella Nichols, Alex Nieto, Monica Diaz, Naomi Ucuk (all from the ESCXV) and Brenda Sandoval are all part of our team. Our OHS Student Council students also volunteered their time and navigated through the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens book. 

 We also presented at Baytown and Dallas with our ESCXV Partners.
