Mission Statement

  

History

 The Children’s Advocacy Programs of the Blue Ridge, Inc. (CAPS) is a nonprofit corporation created with the primary purpose of providing court appointed volunteers to function as advocates for children who are the subjects of judicial proceedings involving allegations that the child is abused, neglected, in need of services, or in need of supervision. They also provide adult education to promote the use of healthy communication to lessen the effects parental divorce and separation have on children and also administer a county cabinet committed to stopping the revolving door of children needing county services. The overall guiding mission statement for the Southern Virginia Child Advocacy Center, the new facility owned by CAPS, is to provide comprehensive, culturally sensitive, multidisciplinary team responses to allegations of child abuse in a dedicated, child friendly setting.
