Cope Family Center along with The Child Abuse Prevention Council of Napa County will host several events throughout the month of April to bring awareness to the Napa community.
Many agencies in the county work to protect children and support families. Through The Child Abuse Prevention Council at Cope Family Center, these organizations collaborate to educate the community and provide programs and services that have lasting, positive impacts.
