Call Directions Website

Child Parent Institute Building brighter futures for our children and families. Approximately 65% of CPI employees are bi-lingual (Spanish speaking).

Founded in 1978, the California Parenting Institute (CPI) has served thousands of Sonoma County families with parent education and mental health services to both prevent and treat child abuse. In that time, CPI has expanded enormously to meet an increasing demand for services to high-risk families. This expansion, which has included a merger in 2005 with the county’s leading provider of therapy to child victims of abuse, has created the need for a central family resource center, the G.K. Hardt Center located in Southwest Santa Rosa, where clients can receive a broad continuum of services at a centrally-located, accessible facility. CPI has a well-respected tenure of success, developing and implementing programs and services available to all families. Additionally, CPI is dedicated to providing services that meet the needs of Sonoma County's diverse communities and has developed a staff and Board of Directors that mirror the demographics and unique characteristics of the region. CPI provides leadership in community education and advocacy for children by coordinating the Prevent Child Abuse-Sonoma County (PCA-SC) as well as serving on the Greater Bay Area Coalition of Child Abuse Prevention Councils, the Child Death Review Team, the Maternal Child Adolescent Health Committee, the Perinatal Mental Health Partnership, Family Violence Prevention Committee and the Santa Rosa Mayor’s Gang Task Force.

We are seeking passionate local neighborhood leaders from the 95407 area to join our team. Your connection to and knowledge of the community are essential to help us address heat-related illness and other challenges affecting our neighbors.

Heat-related illnesses are increasingly concerning for families, especially parents and children in our community. These risks disproportionately affect neighborhoods with limited access to safe cooling spaces and resources. As a community leader, your voice is essential in addressing local needs and shaping effective solutions. Your participation ensures that our community's voice is heard in decision-making, fostering a stronger, healthier, and more resilient future.

What You’ll Do:
-Participate in decision-making meetings
-Share your community’s priorities and concerns
-Collaborate with local organizations and leaders
-Help build a stronger, safer CRC for everyone
