CAPTA Reauthorization Infographic (IMAGE)
Caption
More than 50,000 infants enter foster care each year in the U.S., most due to parental substance use. The foundational legislation meant to protect infants & children, called the Child Abuse Prevention & Treatment Act (CAPTA), wasn’t set up to meet the needs of families affected by substance use. A new bill to strengthen CAPTA was introduced this spring, but additional changes could improve our ability to support families.
