CT Cafe Launch 2020

When the world had to adapt to the COVID-19 outbreak, Changing Tides was no different. Changing Tides was inspired to create a virtual space for our community to connect as an alternative to our cancelled in-person programming.

Changing Tides pulled from our friend @fckyeahcoffee to create the CT Cafes: a weekly groups facilitated on Saturday mornings for 12 consecutive weeks. With the first Cafe being on June 6, 2020, participants grabbed a beverage, hopped on a Google meet call, and chatted about a topic related to mental health such as empathy, communication and relationships, self-image, healthy responses and reactions, and much more.

Ever since this first round of CT Cafes, it has become a staple of connection for our community both local and states away.
