First 5 Mendocino

County: Mendocino County

First 5 Mendocino aims to keep families together by promoting helpful skills for parents, caregivers, professionals and para-professionals to build resilience in families and communities so all children thrive. We work closely with parents and caregivers, throughout Mendocino County, to ensure that all children are happy, healthy and ready for kindergarten. We do this through our Raise & Shine Program, which educates parents and caregivers about positive parenting and connects them to other needed community resources. Raise & Shine promotes the evidence-based parenting program known as Triple P (Positive Parenting Program). Our program offers both direct services to caregivers and parents and Triple P trainings to community and Child Welfare agencies, schools, pediatricians and mental health providers.
