BACKGROUND:
The funding sources of Child Abuse Prevention,, Intervention and Treatment (CAPIT)Assembly Bill (AB) 1733

child abuse. CAPC is an invaluable asset to the dissemination of information in the efforts of the Family and

referral related to child abuse prevention and treatment, professional trainings and community workshops,
coordination of the Child Abuse Review committee and its subcommittees to improve and ensure services to
victims and families, a public lending library of books, video tapes and educational materials on child abuse
issues, and advocacy for child welfare.
