ABOUT
Colusa County CAPC - Community Advocates for Parents & Children serves as the designated Child Abuse Prevention Council for the County of Colusa. As a local non-profit community-based agency, our goal is to help build a strong community by building strong families one at a time.
Our dedicated Board of Directors meets regularly to discuss program-specific information and to ensure that programs and services are aligned with the core mission and vision of CAPC. Each Board Member brings a unique element to the table and actively participates in valuable discussion. By having representation of individuals that are a part of various other local family-serving agencies, collaboration is streamlined.
Our non-profit agency operates off of State and Federal dollars, such as Community Based Child Abuse Prevention Funds (CBCAP), Child Abuse Prevention and Intervention Dollars (CAPIT), Promoting Safe & Stable Families Funding (PSSF), local Children's Trust Fund Dollars, and more. We are an active 501(c)(3) and all donations are tax deductible and greatly appreciated!
In 2016, our agency opened a Family Resource Center and developed a plan to implement direct services through programming that supported the 5 Protective Factors of the Family Strengthening Framework. Over the course of the last few years, our focus has become a great asset in providing Parenting Education and community outreach to spread awareness of child abuse, how to know the signs, how to report, and how to PREVENT it in our Community.
We value a Preventative approach in all of our programs and are here to truly support and strengthen parents and families in our community. We know that parents struggle the most in the absence of the Village and we strive to be the support for all families, regardless of their current situation.
Child Safety
Child abuse is preventable, and together, we can make a difference. We are committed to empowering individuals and communities to take action to help keep children safe. Through outreach, education, and training, we provide practical tools and best practices for working with children, recognizing warning signs, and identifying when a child’s boundaries may be crossed.
