About the San Francisco Child Abuse Prevention CenterFor more than 30 years, the San Francisco Child Abuse Prevention Center has served the community’s most vulnerable Bay Area children and families.  The San Francisco Child Abuse Prevention Center is dedicated to the prevention of child abuse and neglect, the promotion of healthy families and the mental health of children.  With direct crisis and intervention programs designed to reduce parental stress, enhance parenting skills and provide comprehensive services for families in need, we provide open-ended support and help families break the cycle of violence.  As one of the most comprehensive services providers in San Francisco, we also provide education, training programs and public advocacy for child abuse prevention.  In 1998, the Center joined the 27-year histories of the San Francisco Child Abuse Council and TALK Line Family Support Center to form the San Francisco Child Abuse Prevention Center.  For more information, visit www.sfcapc.org.  # # #
