We Need Your Help:

Every day, across the country, the very people children rely on for protection and comfort subject them to abuse or neglect. Give a child the opportunity to grow in a home free of violence. The Child Abuse Prevention Association - CAPA helps prevent and treat all forms of child abuse and provides prevention, intervention and treatment for all families that need to heal from abuse and stop the cycle of violence.
