Background The Child Abuse Prevention Project (CAPP), located at the University of Florida, College of Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, has been serving a 16-county area of North Central Florida, since 1983. Through the years, CAPP has been a collaboration between the University and various State agencies including the Department of Children and Families and the Department of Health (Children’s Medical Services). CAPP provides a variety of services including the Nurturing Program, Parent Education Groups, Moms-in-prison Groups, Professional Training Programs and Consultation. Over the years we have developed various programs. One year, for instance, we provided a Foster Parent Training Program. CAPP is staffed with licensed professionals and paraprofessionals whose goals are to enhance the nurturing skills of parents and to help educate and train the professional community, as well as the community at large, about the needs of children and families. The services offered are voluntary and free of charge to those families who qualify. |
