About CAPACares
CAPACares is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization primarily serving Jackson County, Missouri, and the surrounding Kansas City metropolitan area. 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.
