Child Assault Prevention Project

The Child Assault Prevention (CAP) project, a program of the National Center for Assault Prevention (NCAP), is a nationally recognized community based primary prevention program whose goal is to reduce the vulnerability of children to assault. It helps children and adolescents recognize potentially dangerous situations and gives them strategies to deal with those situations. We recognize that the trauma caused by physical, emotional and sexual abuse is a pervasive problem in our society, and that some of our most pressing social problems, including interpersonal violence, find their roots in child abuse and neglect. It is the ultimate goal of the CAP program to reduce the vulnerability of children to all forms of assault, thereby reducing the potential for future violence.

The Front Range Center for Assault Prevention (FRCAP), part of an international network created by the National Center for Assault Prevention, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization working to prevent child abuse, assault and neglect. Since 1996, this local CAP Project has been providing Child Assault Prevention (CAP) workshops to Front Range schools, including Adams County, Broomfield County, Boulder County, Denver County, Jefferson County, Poudre Valley and St Vrain School Districts, serving more than 65,000 children in the past 12 years. CAP is a community partnership involving children, parents, caregivers, and school staff...All working together to help our children remain "Safe, Strong & Free!"

Each year the PTO provides funds to bring the Child Assault Prevention program to Heatherwood to teach our children how to remain safe and become empowered to stand up for themselves.
