Klamath CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION

Klamath CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION Klamath County, OR

Klamath CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION (CAP) is an action group made up of a dozen local State, County, and Federal agencies along with private individuals to promote awareness and prevention of child abuse and neglect in Klamath County, Oregon.

Children from the Klamath KID Center mark the final day of April's Child Abuse Prevention Month by leading the participants in the Hands and Words Are Not For Hurting Pledge at the 'Creating Hope for Our Community' rally outside the Klamath County Government Center.

CAP learned about the Hands Project in the fall of 2007 and felt that it was an excellent program that they would like to bring to their area and support as a year-round project.  Michael Kaibel, Prevention Coordinator, Klamath CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION (CAP) demonstrates the “Power of One” to encourage and inspire a community to unite in this simple yet powerful Pledge to end abuse and violence wherever it exists….

Since September 2008 Klamath CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION (CAP) has gained support and endorsements for the Hands & Words Are Not For Hurting Project® and their film Power of One from over 65 agencies, organizations, public officials, school administrators, businesses, etc.
