Cope is proud to endorse Measure B, the Napa County Wildfire Preparedness, Watershed Protection and Open Space Preservation Act.

As an organization dedicated to preventing child abuse and strengthening families, we know children thrive when their communities are safe, healthy, and resilient. Wildfires pose a growing, devastating threat to Napa County families, disrupting homes, schools, and the stability children need to thrive, which is why supporting wildfire preparedness is directly tied to protecting families.

Measure B provides dedicated, locally controlled funding to reduce wildfire risk, safeguard our drinking water and watersheds, and preserve open space for future generations. Cope sees this as a natural extension of our mission, and we encourage our community to learn more about how Measure B supports the families we serve.

Every family has a story. Every family deserves support.

Patricia opens up about her family’s journey and what it has meant to have support, connection, and resources along the way. Her story is a reminder that no parent should have to do it alone, and that families grow stronger when a community stands behind them.

Hear Patricia’s story in her own words.

This work is possible thanks to generous community support including grants from Lewis Cellars, Health and Human Services Agency, Napa County, Napa Valley Community Foundation, and Kaiser Permanente. Thank you for investing in local families and helping them build brighter futures.

Families shouldn’t have to navigate the system alone to find the services and support they need. That's why we're proud to be part of the Family Services System Navigation Collaborative, which brings Napa County service providers together to make it easier for families with children prenatal through age 17 to connect with the right resources.

By strengthening connections between agencies, improving communication, identifying gaps and barriers, and listening to families’ experiences, the collaborative is building a more accessible, coordinated, and family-centered network of support.

Together, we’re working toward a community where every family is supported and can find the help they need. ✨💙

We're grateful to work alongside other incredible agencies in our community as part of this collaborative: Mentis, Health and Human Services Agency, Napa County, Napa Valley COAD, UpValley Family Centers, Napa Valley College Basic Needs Center and XI, Puertas Abiertas Community Resource Center, First 5 Napa County , Napa Valley Unified School District, On The Move, Napa County Office of Education Early Learning Center, Community Resources for Children

[Español abajo⬇️] Join us this Thursday for our September Parent Peer Support Group, "The Mask You Live In." 🎭

As a parent, you wear many masks. On the outside, it may look like you have it all together, while underneath, you may be carrying feelings, worries, expectations, and struggles that others never see. Join us for a meaningful and creative conversation and art project exploring the difference between who we show the world and what we carry inside.

Group will take place this Thursday, September 24th from 10am-12pm at Cope Family Center. For more information, please call 707.252.1123.

Cope's Monthly Parent Groups are made possible by generous community support from The Elaine Jones Safety Net Fund, a Community Impact Fund of Napa Valley Community Foundation and Health and Human Services Agency, Napa County.

Acompáñenos este jueves a nuestro grupo de apoyo entre padres de septiembre: «La máscara que llevas puesta». 🎭

Como padre o madre, llevas puestas muchas máscaras. Por fuera, puede parecer que lo tienes todo bajo control, mientras que por dentro tal vez cargues con sentimientos, preocupaciones, expectativas y luchas que nadie más ve. Acompáñanos en una conversación significativa y un proyecto artístico para explorar la diferencia entre la imagen que mostramos al mundo y lo que llevamos en nuestro interior.

El grupo se llevará a cabo este jueves, 24 de septiembre de 10am a 12pm en Cope Family Center. Para obtener más información, llame al 707.252.1123.

Los grupos mensuales de padres de Cope son posible gracias a la financiación del Elaine Jones Safety Net Fund, a Community Impact Fund of Napa Valley Community Foundation y Health and Human Services Agency, Napa County.

According to the CDC, adverse childhood experiences, including abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction, are among the strongest predictors of su***de risk later in life. If we want to prevent su***de, we cannot wait until adulthood, or even adolescence. We have to start with the earliest relationships a child has.

That's why so much of our work at Cope begins before a baby's first birthday, and often before birth. Postpartum depression affects roughly one in seven new mothers, and untreated maternal mental health struggles ripple outward, affecting bonding, child development and family stability.

Every parent who gets connected to mental health treatment, every family that builds a support network instead of facing isolation, every child who grows up in a safer, more stable home are the quiet, unglamorous wins that add up to fewer crises down the road.

Napa Valley has the chance to invest upstream, in the relationships and support systems that keep families whole before they break.

September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month, and I’ve spent much of my nonprofit career at the intersection of two causes that people don’t often connect: su***de prevention and child abuse […]
