G-CAPP Programs
We work to
bring cutting-edge programs to Georgia that promote
the development of healthy children and families.
Community programs that G-CAPP administers are:
- The Community-Based DOULA Project - This program provides teen mothers with a trained birth assistant to provide social and emotional support during pregnancy, labor and post delivery. Promoting positive development of mother and infant, this replication of a national model has demonstrated positive medical outcomes, lower incidence of complications during pregnancy, and an increase in bonding between mother and child - a measure that reduces risk of child abuse and neglect.
- Second Chance Homes Network - The most visible and acclaimed of G-CAPP's programs, this network of homes throughout Georiga provides young mothers with support to become self-sufficient parents. Based in non-institutional settings, teen mothers are provided with supportive relationships, counseling, educational incentives, and support for long-term economic independence, child development, parenting and life skills.
- Carrera Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Program -
The Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention (G-CAPP) announces that it is bringing the Carrera Pregnancy Prevention Model to southeast Atlanta
beginning with a brief summer program followed by a year-round afterschool
program. The Carrera Model is an intensive year-round, multi-year afterschool and
summer program that is designed to improve academic skills and prevent teenage
pregnancy through developing personal goals and aspirations. G-CAPP is currently
recruiting for job openings for the Carrera program. Click here to see the available
positions.
G-CAPP also has offices and conducts direct service in two Georgia communities:
