The Child Abuse Prevention Center

The Child Abuse Prevention Center is a state, national and international training, education, research and resource center dedicated to strengthening children, families, and communities.

The Child Abuse Prevention Center, known as the CAP Center, has a 39 year history of preventing child abuse, neglect and abandonment through four core strategies:

1. Education
2. Advocacy
3. Health
4. Safety

The CAP Center is home to five unique agencies. They are The Child Abuse Prevention Council of Sacramento, California Family Resource Association, Prevent Child Abuse California, Lift the Children and the Child Abuse Prevention Center Political Action Committee. Although governed by a single board of directors, each organization takes a different but complementary approach to preventing child abuse.
