Child Assault Prevention strives to empower children to be “Safe, Strong and Free” through education and prevention programs designed to increase children’s safety from abuse and assault. Workshops are conducted by two trained CAP facilitators working together as a team to present the material. Three common victimization scenarios children encounter are introduced: a Bully, a Stranger, and a Known and Trusted Person. Children are involved in discussion and role-play activities in which they learn to identify their own resources so that should they need help they know where to go and how to ask. CAP teaches other groups of children and adults the same concepts in age appropriate workshops. Child Assault Prevention (CAP) is a private, non-profit agency incorporated in the State of Nevada. Since 1984, CAP’s mission has been to reduce the vulnerability and susceptibility of children to abuse, assault and victimization through education and prevention programs for children of all ages. CAP’s philosophy and belief is that all children have rights, and that those rights are to be protected. CAP teaches children and adults how to recognize abuse, how to stay safe and whom they can get help from if they are being abused (or if someone they know is). CAP is the only full-time agency dedicated to abuse/assault prevention in Northern Nevada.
