The grant recipients include local non-profits, public health agencies, school districts, and human service organizations.
One of the recipients, Resilient Napa, is a project of Cope Family Center and promotes community healing and resilience in Napa County. It does this by building the capacity of local behavioral health, human service and health organizations to integrate trauma informed practices, ACEs research, and brain science to more effectively address complex behavioral and health issues to prevent child abuse, violence and trauma.

“As a founding investor in the program, Kaiser Permanente’s support has helped us leverage additional funds to sustain the program. In addition to the funding, Kaiser staff provides technical expertise and volunteer support to the Resilient Napa collaborative,” said Michele Grupe, Executive Director of the Cope Family Center. “Over the last three years, through our partnership with Kaiser Permanente, we have been able to engage thousands of residents from all walks of life and examine ways to improve the mental and physical health of our community through Resilient Napa.”
