BUTTE COUNTY CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION
COUNCIL
buttecapc@gmail.com
Annual Report to the Butte County Board of Supervisors
June 29, 2022
The Butte County Child Abuse Prevention Council continues to meet the
Welfare and Institutions Code specifications to:
1. Provide a forum for interagency cooperation and coordination in the prevention,
detection, treatment and legal processing of child abuse cases;
2. Promote public awareness of the abuse and neglect of children and the resources
available for intervention and treatment;
3. Encourage and facilitate training of professionals in the detection, treatment, and
prevention of child abuse and neglect through promoting the use of the five
protective factors to strengthen families;
4. Recommend improvements in services to families and victims; and
5. Encourage and facilitate community support for child abuse and neglect
programs.
Our Council was established in 1975 and was designated as the Child Abuse
Coordinating Council by the Butte County Board of Supervisors in June of 1989. We are
a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
Currently, annual funding is received from the State child abuse prevention funds for
maintaining county Child Abuse Prevention Councils. Although each council is unique,
in Butte County, funds are provided through contract agreement through the
Department of Employment and Social Services in the amount of $52,000. The contract
renewed effective July 1, 2022.
Some of the highlights of the past year as we work to fulfill our goals include:
Collaboration with Community Partners and Stakeholders, including:
o Early Childhood Multidisciplinary Team
o African American Family Cultural Center Community Advisory Committee
o Citizen Review Panel on Child Abuse Prevention
o First 5 Butte County
o Mother’s Strong Coalition
o Options for Recovery group
o Tribal Task Force Committee
o Hispanic Resource Council of Northern California
o OARS
These continued collaborations help connect organizations and are an ongoing
effort to avoid duplication of services and to support the development of programs
to strengthen children and families.
Outreach has continued through
o Monthly Council meetings (via Zoom). The meetings consist of a short program
or educational awareness presentation as well as information sharing,
collaboration, and coordination between community partners to keep
providers updated on current program availability, as well as advocating for
children and families by encouraging member participation in the legislative
process and providing information on current legislative
issues. It is anticipated that meetings would be held in a hybrid format (virtual
and in-person) when it is determined that it is safe and healthy to do so.
o Hosting Facebook page and CAPC website to provide important information
and community updates
o Providing regular email updates on training resources for professionals and
community events to help strengthen families in Butte County.
o Bus shelter ads in six locations and three languages placed countywide for
three months (2021)
o Annual Cross-Training sponsored by Butte-Glenn OFR and CAPC. This year we
presented 2 Zoom trainings by Bryan Post.
Taking part in community activities has been impacted this year due to the
pandemic, however, we plan to participate in regional events as conditions improve.
We were able to participate in the following events:
o February: African American Family & Cultural Center Street Fair
o April: Wildflower and Nature Festival in Oroville
o April: Valley Oak’s Children Services Pop-Up events in Oroville and Gridley
Coordinating of events for Child Abuse Awareness month in April were again affected
by the pandemic. Nevertheless, activities included the following:
Board of Supervisors Resolution
Encouraged participation in the state-promoted wear blue day, art contest, and
pledge. Outreach to over 9 schools or districts through Public Health Nursing
Students at :
Thermalito Elementary
Tehama County Department of Education
Willows Unified school District
Chico Country Day
Durham Unified School District
Chico Unified School District
Lassen View Elementary
Orland Unified School District
Red Bluff High School
Flag Raising in Chico
Managing the Frank Watters & Mary Anne Houx Children’s Fund is part of the work of the
Council through a separate appointment by the Board of Supervisors and is funded
outside of the parameters of the county contract. This includes coordinating the
collection of donations, tracking funds, banking, generating, and coordinating signature
and mailing of thank you letters to donors, distributing and soliciting grant applications,
issuing grant funds awarded by the review committee, reviewing progress reports, and
coordinating presentations by the award recipients to the general council.
Our organization has recently gone through a change in leadership as Wendy Brown is
no longer serving as the CAPC Executive Director. Our board of directors remains
dedicated to continuing our work to serve as a catalyst to promote healthy families
through building strong community partnerships that provide awareness, education, and
outreach. We have scheduled a strategic planning meeting in the next month to
organize and plan next steps for CAPC and begin the process of recruitment for a new
Executive Director.
Thank you for your continued support. On behalf of the CAPC Board of Directors, it is an
honor to steward the Child Abuse Prevention Council responsibilities. We welcome your
suggestions and insight in carrying out these responsibilities and we look forward to
continuing the work to prevent child abuse in all forms.
Respectfully submitted,
Rachel Sanchez
Interim Executive Director
