body
 
BACKGROUND
Members of the Napa County community can play a vital role in supporting parents and caregivers to raise happy, healthy children, and during the month of January, Napa County Triple P Collaborative partners and many others will be increasing awareness of the importance. Positive parenting is a protective factor that prevents and heals Adverse Childhood Experiences, which impact lifelong health and well-being and occur in the context of Adverse Community Environments that lack equity. 
Families in Napa County can receive support from positive parenting programs, including the Triple P - Positive Parenting Program, an evidence-based program available thanks to a partnership between Napa County Health and Human Services Agency, ParentsCan, Cope Family Center, ChildStart Inc., and UpValley Family Centers.
Triple P has benefitted over 18,000 parents, caregivers, children, and youth in Napa County since 2017 through proven strategies to strengthen relationships, promote children’s development, and handle parenting challenges.
