Bob’s support for Cope’s mission is very strong. “Cope's role in being the First Stop for Families in the Napa Valley has never been more important than it is today”. He acknowledges the difficulties of being a parent today and appreciates that “Cope is there for any parent that is struggling with some aspect of raising children that thrive in today's complicated environment”.

Meet the Board: Susan Mitchell, Board Secretary

This month we would like to introduce you to Susan Mitchell, our Board Secretary. Susan is a mom. “When I had my first son, who is now 18 years old, I realized how important a stable and safe home is for babies to have a chance to develop and thrive into childhood and beyond.” That experience as a parent herself gave her even more empathy and compassion for struggling parents. “Knowing that many families, at some point, hit a rough spot I reached out to Cope Family Center to volunteer. I have volunteered on and off over the years and am thrilled to be a part of the Board now.”

From the very beginning of Kathy’s time working with Cope, she has been a strong ambassador for getting others involved in our important work. “Don't just take my word for it. Come see for yourself (when we are allowed) everything Cope Family Center does for the residents of our community. It doesn't matter what your socio-economic background is because at some point most every family needs help in some way.”
