Child Abuse Prevention Month (CAPM) is an annual observance in the United States dedicated to raising awareness and preventing child abuse.

During this month, the Fleet & Family Service Center New Parent Support (NPS) Program recognizes the importance of communities working together to help families thrive, keeping children safe, healthy, and happy through education awareness.
