ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION
The San Francisco Child Abuse Prevention Center (SFCAPC) is a non-profit organization seeking to prevent child abuse and neglect and to promote healthy families.

SFCAPC has three departmental areas: Family & Children Services (24/7 Parental Stress TALK Line, Family Support, Mental Health Counseling, Respite Care, and Children’s Playroom), Education & Advocacy, and Systems Improvement.

The organization’s annual budget is approximately $3.0 million. The organization recently acquired its building, an historic firehouse in the Haight neighborhood near Golden Gate Park. The organization is supported by approximately 55 staff, interns, and consultants and more than 80 volunteers.
