Frequently Asked Questions
CAPACares helps children, adults, and families feel safe, supported, and strong. We provide counseling, home visiting support, and community education programs. Our goal is to help people heal, grow, and build healthy relationships.
We offer three main types of services:
- Counseling for children, adults, and families
- Home visiting through Healthy Families Jackson County™, which supports parents and caregivers
- Community education, including parenting classes, social-emotional learning, and mandated reporter training
If you are worried about a child’s safety, it’s important to speak up. Making a report can help connect a child and their family to support and resources they may urgently need. You do not need proof to make a report—just a concern.
Reports can be made anonymously, and the goal is always to protect children and help families.
