Surviving Parenthood is a comprehensive resource guide developed by CAPC to inform parents and caregivers of the many services and resources that are available to help children and families living in Contra Costa County.

In its 15 edition, the resource directory includes information about protective factors that help reduce child abuse and neglect.
