Contact Your Elected Officials Today and Urge Them to Maintain CAPTA Funding Levels
Originally enacted in 1974, the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA) is the only federal program exclusively dedicated to the prevention, assessment, identification, and treatment of child abuse and neglect. It is also the only legislation that addresses universal primary prevention capacity-building at a local level and supports services essential to healthy and thriving communities in every state.
Please Support H.R. 4768, the Home Visiting to Reduce Maternal Mortality and Morbidity Act
There is a maternal health and mortality crisis in this country.

To honor their memory, we in the home visiting field must pledge to do better.

Contact Your Senator Today and Ask Him/Her to Fully Fund the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA)
Originally enacted in 1974, the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA) is the only federal program exclusively dedicated to the prevention, assessment, identification, and treatment of child abuse and neglect. CAPTA protects vulnerable children by providing critical funding for programs that aid healthy child development and reduce the likelihood of more serious problems in the future. CAPTA helps children and families in all 50 states through services such as evidence-based voluntary home visiting programs, early childhood and child care programs, mental and substance use services, family resource centers, and respite and crisis care, among many other valuable resources. CAPTA is also the only legislation that addresses universal primary prevention capacity building at a local level, supporting services essential to healthy and thriving communities.
