Child Parent Institute, formerly California Parenting Institute, is a parent education and children’s mental health agency serving families throughout Sonoma County since 1978. Our continuum of care includes child therapy, family resource assistance, parent education, facilitated supervised visitation and a non-public school (New Directions) providing adolescent special education/mental health services. We advocate for policies that support families and protect children.
We are parent-operated by intention and design. More than 50% of our Board of Directors are parents of children with diverse abilities and needs. Additionally, most of the staff at Matrix have children with special needs; they have a deep understanding of what families are experiencing. All of our services are free , supported through grants, contracts, donations, and fundraising activities.
PPSC is much more than a collection of 90 human services programs based on best practice research with measurable outcomes. We are a community of caregivers existing within the larger community whose sole purpose is to help make people’s lives better. We strive to do this one child, one adult, and one senior at a time. Last year we served over 42,000 people through our programs. The hands-on, face-to-face support that individuals receive from PPSC is wide ranging; counseling, economic sustainability, youth programing, daily hot meals, rides to the doctor, case management, homelessness prevention, and access to fresh food.
The mission of Healthy Petaluma is to improve the health and well-being of all members of the community. Our vision is a healthier community with local access to comprehensive health and wellness services for all of our residents
