Where Hope Grows.

A Beacon of Hope for Napa County Families.

Expressions of Hope is a non-profit organization that provides resources and support to Foster Families in Napa County, California. We also provide wraparound services to Adoptive families throughout California through our contract with Trauma Education Support Services.

  • The needs of a foster family are many, and we have a number of services and resources that we provide to ease the stress of day-to-day life.

  • Using trauma-based education, we guide parents in how to deal with the challenges of their child’s behavior. Our parent coaches will assess each family’s dynamics, strengths, and weaknesses, to help create a more harmonious home environment.

  • Our counseling services aim to address the many psychological, behavioral, and emotional issues that can cause family problems. Counselors work with family members to grow and sustain healthy relationships within the family.

  • We work to minimize the demands and stressors of everyday life, to allow you more freedom to connect with your child. Transportation, shopping for groceries, or even mowing the lawn, are some examples of ways that we have helped families in need.
