Take a Minute To Make a Difference
In The Life of a Child

Welcome to the Child Abuse Prevention Council (CAPC)
of Contra Costa County.

We invite you to use this website and to be a part of our mission to:

• Promote the safety of our children
• Raise community awareness
• Influence public policy
• Educate our community and families
• Provide resources and support families

This website contains valuable information every family needs for support and resources. As a parent, teacher, caregiver, or any role that includes the care and responsibility of children, the programs and resources included at www.capc-coco.org will be of interest to you.  Parenting is the most difficult and most important work we do. Remember, if kids came with instructions, parenting would be a lot easier. But they don’t.  Parents need supportive partners in their childrearing efforts.  The Child Abuse Prevention Council can be that important partner for families, neighborhoods and all communities of Contra Costa County. We welcome all who wish to join us in building healthy families and protecting children. Our children’s poster project slogan says it all:
“It shouldn’t hurt to be a child”

Wishing you peace,
Carol Carrillo, MSW
Executive Director
