Working together to keep every child safe from harm.™
Since 1982, CAPS has believed that every child is entitled to feel safe in school, at home, online and in the community… and the best way to reduce the effects of bullying, child abuse and neglect is to prevent it before it occurs. Education and empowerment are the keys.

Since our inception, CAPS has reached over 650,000 Long Island students, parents, educators, professionals and concerned community through education and awareness programs. Thousands more call upon CAPS as an expert resource on bullying/cyber-bullying, child abuse prevention, Internet safety, relational aggression, and sexual harassment and date rape prevention.

Our Helpline receives hundreds of calls and emails each year from children and parents looking for advice about bullying and abuse.

And as bullying, child abuse and neglect continue to take a toll on our youth and impact society, those who are called to action become CAPS volunteers and join us in pursuit of our mission: working together to keep every child safe from harm.
