World Cafe - A Night of Parent Conversations

Natick Togther two presents a World Cafe. A World Café is like musical chairs for grown-ups...to start; everyone sits at a table for four and spends 10 minutes discussing an assigned question. When the bell rings, participants move to a new table, with a new group, to explore the next powerful question. Sponsored by Natick Together2, Natick's Youth Substance Abuse Coalition, our "menu" for the evening consists of three "rich" questions that will stir thoughts and insights on substance use and other issues that impact young people in our community. "Sinking our teeth into" these issues and sharing ideas will help all of us to continue creating and sustaining a healthier, drug-free Natick for our youth. At the end of the evening, we will consider next steps for how to use the information we have learned from you.

The conversation is designed for parents (with children of any age), business owners, law enforcement, mental health professionals and residents of the Natick community. Light refreshments will be available.
