The Child Abuse Prevention Center’s 13 different programs are designed to work with each family’s unique needs and provide critical parenting education, mental health services, case management, family support, and community linkages. Our programs reflect “best practices” in the field of child abuse prevention. According to Prevent Child Abuse America, “currently, home visitation is the most innovative and holistic prevention program used in approaching the difficulties of educating and supporting the at-risk family, while at the same time making a wide range of community and professional services available to the family.
“Best practices” are reflected in our In-Home Parent Empowerment and Mental Health Services programs that directly deliver services to families in their own homes, reducing the access barriers faced by many families in receiving traditional social services. Groups, Panels & Seminars, Advocacy Services and Basic Needs are delivered throughout the community, providing education and support to our clients.
The Child Abuse Prevention Center’s three strategic goals include: 1) enhancing healthy parenting styles, 2) increasing family self-sufficiency, 3) and ensuring that children and families are living in a stable and violent-free home environment.
