Resources
CAP4Kids (The Children’s Advocacy Project) was developed in 2005 as a way for healthcare providers, social workers, child advocates and parents and teens to find reliable, up-to-date information on community resources to help improve and enhance the lives of children and families. Each CAP4Kids city has its own content with local community resources organized into easy to locate Parent Handouts. These handouts are the backbone of CAP4Kids. They allow parents and families to find resources on a wide range of topics, ranging from after-school programs and camps to education resources or resources for children with special needs. There are resources for pregnant mothers, infants, school-aged children,
and teens.
