*PLEASE NOTE: Updated Information on ICAP and the Child Assault Prevention Program
This webinar contains valuable information about both the CAP approach to child abuse and neglect prevention, and the International Center for Assault Prevention (ICAP). Since it was produced, ICAP has ended as a central organizing office. Many of the CAP Regional Training centers (RTCs) that deliver the program continue to offer the prevention services discussed in the webinar, and we invite you to contact an RTC for additional information and to discuss the availability of services and training.
In sum, when viewing the webinar note the following:
•The references to ICAP as an organization no longer apply.
• ICAP has empowered the existing Regional Training Centers to operate independently, utilizing the full range of CAP programs they deliver.
•In the webinar, the descriptions of the history, philosophy, evaluation studies, and CAP programs, particularly the elementary program, are accurate and provide a useful summary of why the program has been successful internationally.
•The information on how to start a CAP program is no longer relevant, as each RTC is now responsible for organizing service parameters and negotiating the best fit for local needs.
•The current list of active RTCs and contact information can be found under Resource Downloads on the right-hand side of this page.
We invite you to contact an RTC near you or that is linguistically compatible to discuss how CAP might be useful to you in your efforts to prevent child abuse and neglect and help children to understand their right to be safe, strong, and free.
***Notes regarding NJCAP Adult Workshop video above
The CAP program is a primary prevention program including programming for staff, parents and children which empowers individuals to recognize and deal effectively with child abuse. The following online CAP workshop was created by the New Jersey Child Assault Prevention as an informational session for staff, parents, and guardians whose children had recently participated in the CAP program in their school. The workshop has been tailored to provide valuable information about child abuse and its prevention. When viewing this presentation please understand that it is from the perspective of New Jersey child abuse laws and reporting responsibilities. You will need to investigate what the laws and reporting responsibilities are in your own location. A special ‘Thank You’ goes out to Millie Castillo, our CAP Coordinator in Hudson/Passaic Counties in New Jersey, for her participation in presenting this online workshop. For additional information please reach out to Jeannette Collins at childassaultprevention@gmail.com. You may also consider contacting one of the Regional Training Centers identified on this website page.
