ABOUT CAPS
Since 1976, Child and Parent Services (CAPS) has supported children and families in north central Indiana, working to ensure every child can grow up safe, healthy, and free from abuse.
CAPS offers a full range of services that both prevent abuse and respond when it occurs, always rooted in strong, supportive relationships. From prenatal care through each stage of childhood, we walk alongside families, offering the education, resources, and encouragement they need to thrive.
At the heart of our work is hope: the belief that with the right support, every child and every family can build a brighter future.
Each year, CAPS serves more than 5,600 children and adults, strengthening families and fostering safer, healthier communities across our region.
