About Enspire Parent Cafe
Our Story
Our Programs
Our Programs
Enspire Parent Cafe was born from a simple but powerful idea: that parents need a village too. Founded by a passionate mother who has walked the path of advocacy, resilience, empowerment and unwavering love for her children, Enspire Parent Cafe started as a grassroots effort to bring parents together in a safe, nurturing space.
Sheril Cooper, our founder, knows firsthand the challenges parents face — from navigating the educational system and mental health support to understanding the juvenile justice system. Her experiences as a parent, foster care survivor, and advocate inspired her to create a place where parents don’t have to feel alone.
In 2025, Enspire Parent Cafe planted its roots in Dayton, Ohio, as a grassroots movement to uplift, educate, and empower parents. Our mission is to build a community where parents can share their journeys, support one another, and find the resources they need to help their families thrive.
Our story is still being written, but every conversation, every parent, and every small victory adds a new chapter. At Enspire Parent Cafe, we believe that when parents feel supported, children flourish — and that’s a story worth telling.

IEP & School Advocacy Support
Parents navigating special education deserve clear guidance. We provide one-on-one support, workshops, and resources to help families understand IEP/ advocate effectively, and ensure children receive the education they need.
Juvenile Justice Parent Support
Families impacted by the juvenile system often feel isolated. Our program offers advocacy tools, peer-led groups, and healing-centered workshops to help parents find strength, voice, and solutions.
🌱 Community Resource Hub
Life challenges can be overwhelming. Our hub connects parents with updated resources for food, housing, mental health, parenting programs, and more—ensuring families have access to what they need, when they need it.
💜 Healing & Empowerment Activities
We believe parent well-being is essential to strong families. From reflection journals to affirmation practices, our healing programs focus on resilience, mental wellness, and personal growth.
