Y-CAP
CREATING SAFE SPACES, BUILDING STRONGER FUTURES
Y-CAP is an early-intervention, trauma-informed program designed for middle school youth who may be struggling with behavior, academics, or challenges in their environment. The program creates safe, supportive spaces where students can build confidence, connect with caring adults, and develop critical life skills.
