Child Abuse Prevention Program
CAPP teaches children how to recognize dangerous and abusive situations and how to seek help from trusted adults. Preschool and early elementary school children learn the difference between safe and unsafe touches, while older elementary children learn about Shaken Baby Syndrome, neglect, physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, and domestic violence. The goal of CAPP is to help increase children's safety skills by providing positive, empowering, and informative presentations in school settings. The program serves nearly 6,500 students each year in public, private and parochial schools throughout Lucas County.
