Serving Families in Jackson County, MO and the Surrounding Kansas City Metropolitan Area Since 1975
CAPACares was founded in 1975 as a parenting helpline, staffed by volunteers and members of the Junior Service League. CAPACares became a United Way partner agency in 1978. Since those early days, CAPACares has grown from a simple helpline to a holistic agency that provides counseling and treatment programs for children and non-offending caregivers who have experienced abuse or trauma, child abuse prevention education, parenting education classes, and home-visiting family support services.
FAMILY SUPPORT PROGRAMS
Parenthood isn’t always easy, and CAPACares understands that sometimes parents need a helping hand.
CAPACares' Healthy Families Jackson CountyTM Program provides home-visiting services for parents of young children to support them in developing strong families and healthy parenting skills. This is a free and voluntary program offered to pregnant or new parents residing in Jackson County, Missouri.
