"Preventing child abuse and neglect in our community requires attention and focus at each level of prevention. Counseling, Family Support and Education 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." -CAPA
This quote was pulled from the website of an organization that wants to prevent and reduce child abuse.CAPA is Child Abuse Prevention Association.CAPA started as a crisis and information hot line in 1975 and new mothers had the opportunity to attend a parenting class in order to prevent child abuse. CAPA became a national organization in 1978. In the 80's they formed a day treatment program for abused children in connection with another organization called the Children's Place. During the 90's child sexual abuse treatment distended. CAPA has grown and expanded since then and they focus mainly on treating and preventing all types of child abuse by providing services on education, family support, and counseling. When I worked on child abuse as a topic before I heard of this organization before so I thought that I might research it. This quote relates to my topic because it is an organization that is trying to stop this issue and has been trying to prevent this problem for a long time.
