CAPS is a student organization for those interested in child welfare and child abuse related topics with the purpose of encouraging, supporting and providing a networking means for TWU students. The group was formed in Summer 2006 and seeks to enhance the knowledge of its members by bringing in guest speakers from various child welfare related agencies and/or entities. They also co-sponsor and participate in the annual Child Abuse Awareness Information event in the Student Union. At this event prevention information is given to the University community and other educational opportunities are presented. CAPS is also active in its community and participates in several volunteer projects throughout the semester.

Mission Statement The purpose of this organization is not only to encourage support and networking among students, but enhancing knowledge of students interested in child welfare issues at Texas Woman’s University.
