			Public Education Outreach - RACCAP's mission is to educate the public about positive parenting and child abuse prevention. RACCAP is committed to raising the awareness of the general public about these issues. RACCAP participates in several coalitions, as described below, to accomplish our mission of public education and awareness. There is also a display of parenting materials which includes numerous pamphlets (click to see this listing) that are available to individuals at no cost. RACCAP will provide a speaker to make presentations on various parenting topics.
