Programs
ACAPC provides free prevention education presentations and
training in the areas of:
- Mandated Child Abuse & Neglect Reporter Training
This training is for people whose profession requires them to
report suspected child abuse and neglect, and for volunteers who
work with children.
- Some of the people who have participated in this
training are child care providers, AmeriCorp workers, school
faculty, students in the Early Childhood Education or ROP
Health Careers classes, firefighters and emergency
personnel, lifeguards, soccer, little league, football and
cheer coaches, and clergy and church staff and volunteers.
- Shaken Baby Syndrome Prevention
Presented in about one hour, or combined with the Mandated
reporter Training, this presentation uses an emotionally
powerful video and a demonstration doll to illustrate how easily
a child can be injured by just a little shaking.
- This workshop has been presented to junior high and high
school students, wards at the Preston Youth Correctional
Facility and Pine Grove Youth Camp, Mother's Club members,
AmeriCorp workers, and other community members.
- Internet Safety for kids, teens, and adults
Almost 2000 students have attended school assemblies
where they have learned what personal, identifying information
is, how to select safe screen names and passwords, how Internet
predators operate, what is cyber bullying and how to prevent it,
and, that kindness counts.
- Separate presentations are used for elementary and
junior high students.
- Our Program Coordinator attended the first annual
California Cyber Safety Summit, and was one of the
presenters for the Sierra-Sacramento Regional Child Abuse
