Community Advocacy Program

Community Advocacy Program CAP is a partnership of community health centers providing free and confidential domestic violence services for health center clients and community residents.

The Community Advocacy Program (CAP) is a successful initiative of the Center for Community Health Education, Research, and Service (CCHERS), Inc., a not-for-profit incorporated partnership. In 1994, the Massachussetts Department of Public Health Pediatric Family Violence Prevention Project provided funding for support groups for battered women, and corresponding groups for their children, in two

community health centers. Based on the success of this initiative and the obvious need for additional services, in September, 1995, at the urging of its member health centers, CCHERS established the Community Advocacy Program, with initial funding support from the Massachusetts Office for Victim Assistance (MOVA). CAP Family Advocates are now on site at four health centers: Bowdoin Street, Codman Square, Dorchester House, and Uphams Corner serving the neighborhoods of Dorchester, Roxbury, Mattapan, South Boston, and the surrounding areas. CAP is the only community health center-based domestic violence service partnership in the country.
