Community Action Program for Children (CAPC)
The Community Action Program for Children (CAPC) aims to promote the health and development of children aged 0 to 6 years, who face challenges that may put their health at risk. Funded community-level projects aim to develop and deliver a range of comprehensive and culturally appropriate early intervention and prevention activities aimed at improving health behaviours (such as positive parenting, parent-child attachment, healthy eating, and physical activity) and overall self-reported general health and well-being. This program also promotes the creation of partnerships within communities and strengthens community capacity to increase support for children and their families who face challenges that may put their health at risk.
