Preventing child abuse and neglect in our community requires attention and focus at each level of prevention. Education, Family Support and Counseling Services are the three levels of prevention at CAPA. Each supports our mission to prevent and treat all forms of child abuse by creating changes in individuals, families and society that strengthen relationships and promote healing.
Community education, and classes provided by CAPA, are designed to increase awareness of abuse and its prevention, improve parenting skills, and teach personal safety skills to children.
