Dear CAPA Community,
I’m writing to share an important update—and to ask for your support.
Due to sweeping federal changes, CAPA has unexpectedly lost AmeriCorps funding, which has sustained our clinical training program for more than a decade. This program has welcomed more than 300 interns into the CAPA family, many of whom now serve in mental health and nonprofit roles across our region. These interns are essential to our mission. They expand access to trauma-informed care and represent the future of the field.
The loss of nearly $300,000 annually is a significant challenge. But CAPA remains strong—and fully committed to continuing this vital program and our services for children and families. Our Board of Directors and leadership team are working diligently to respond with care, safeguard services, and protect what matters most.
This moment comes at a meaningful time—CAPA’s 50th anniversary—and it’s about more than a funding shift. It’s about showing up for the people who count on us. For five decades, CAPA has helped children and families heal from trauma. We’ve never done it alone—and right now, we need you more than ever.
Here’s how you can help:
Advocate
Let your elected officials know how vital AmeriCorps
and mental health funding are to you and your community.
