Parent-Child Assistance Program (P-CAP)

Helping women develop healthy relationships and access resources

About P-CAP

The Parent-Child Assistance Program (P-CAP) is a 3-year home visitation program that offers individualized support for individuals who:

  • Are pregnant or have given birth in the past six months
  • Used drugs and/or alcohol during pregnancy
  • Live in Calgary or surrounding areas, Willow Creek, Vulcan, or within the Municipal District of the Foothills

P-CAP helps individuals to:

  • Learn strategies to address drug and alcohol use
  • Access community resources such as healthcare, housing and legal supports
  • Build healthy relationships with their families, friends and community
  • Prevent future births impacted by drug or alcohol use

Referrals for P-CAP may come from Children Service’s caseworkers, professional or a self-referral.

P-CAP is funded by CFAN.
