On January 23rd, Cope’s Triple P Team visited the Capitol for a day of advocacy. Triple P teams from around the state, coming from as far as San Diego, met with our California Legislators to encourage them to prioritize positive parenting in budget and policy decisions. Our Cope team was joined by other Napa County agencies delivering Triple P, including UpValley, Child Start, and Parentscan.

As a Social Worker for Napa Valley Unified School District, I get an intimate look at the role parents and caregivers play in preparing their children for the classroom. In supporting students through various challenges that prevent them from learning, I have seen firsthand how struggles in the home affect a child’s success in school. Parents play a vital role in their child’s academic success, and stressors in the home, such as divorce, mental health problems, insecure housing, and other economic instability can take a toll on students.
In honor of Positive Parenting Awareness Month, I want to share my story about how Cope Family Center’s parenting classes have helped transform my relationship with my daughter. Ten years ago, I was divorced and battling addiction, and I struggled to be present and committed in my daughter’s life. In fact, there were long periods when I wasn’t in contact with my daughter at all.
