All of us at CAPS know how abuse damages a child's feeling of well-being; how bullying destroys a child's feeling of safety; and how online victimization makes a child feel unsafe in his or her own home.
We know that the best way to reduce the effects of child abuse and neglect is to prevent it before it occurs. Education is the key to prevention. With programs addressing the varied forms of child abuse, bullying, sexual harassment, date rape and online exploitation, CAPS is proud to be Long Island's leading resource on the prevention of child abuse and neglect, and provider of bullying, youth violence prevention and child safety education at no cost to our local elementary, middle and high schools.
We hope you too will join with us in our mission: working together to keep every child safe from harm.
Brian Ferruggiari, President of the Board
