Child Abuse Prevention Council

What Child Abuse Prevention Council does

Child Abuse Prevention Council (CAPC), legally the Child Abuse Prevention Council of San Joaquin County, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1977 in Stockton, California, in response to the death of three-year-old Latanya Smith. The organization provides a continuum of child-welfare and family-strengthening services across San Joaquin County, including early childhood education via C.A.M.P. Preschools (Head Start/Early Head Start, state-subsidized, and crisis/respite care), clinical mental health counseling for Medi-Cal-enrolled children and families, the CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) program for foster children, the TAY (Transitional Age Youth) mentoring program for ages 16–25 based on the TIP Model, school-based suicide prevention services in six unified school districts, bilingual Parent Café support groups built on the Strengthening Families Framework, the multi-sensory Lisa Project exhibit for community awareness, Pinwheels for Prevention campaigns, Family Intervention and Home Visitation programs, and the newer HOME program for homeless families.

CAPC's underlying technology is operational rather than software-based: it comprises proprietary program curricula (Parent Café, TIP Model, Parents as Teachers), branded experiential assets (The Lisa Project, C.A.M.P.), and a multi-channel delivery infrastructure spanning center-based preschools, embedded school mental health staff, home visits, a 24-hour hotline, and community-based Parent Café locations. It has a registered GuideStar Platinum Seal of Transparency and EIN 94-2497046.

Its business model is donation- and grant-dependent, with all services provided free of charge to clients. Revenue streams include individual donations (one-time and monthly recurring), corporate giving (cause marketing, matching gifts, payroll deduction via United Way), planned giving and the "It's about the Kids Endowment," vehicle and property donations (via interACTIVremarketing), and government grants — primarily San Joaquin County Behavioral Health Services via Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) and Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) funding, plus National CASA support. The go-to-market is community-led and event-driven, relying on annual fundraisers (Ducky Derby, Walk 4 Life, Superhero Run, Adopt a Family), school presentations, PR coverage, and grassroots volunteer recruitment rather than paid acquisition. CAPC is currently led by Interim CEO Shauna Buzunis-Jacob following a leadership transition.
