Office of Child Abuse Prevention

INTRODUCTION

The Office of Child Abuse Prevention (OCAP) was created in 1984 by the Oklahoma Child

Abuse Prevention Act, Title 63, O.S., Section 1-227. The act declared that the prevention of

child abuse and neglect was a priority in Oklahoma. In accordance with the Act, OCAP was

placed within the Oklahoma State Department of Health to emphasize prevention as the focus

rather than “after-the-fact intervention.”

OCAP utilizes a public health framework for providing prevention services, which includes:

• Primary services to promote child abuse prevention statewide and raise aware- ness of the

general public, program providers, and decision-makers on issues related to child

maltreatment.

• Secondary services that consist of child abuse prevention programs geared to- ward

families at risk for child maltreatment.

• Tertiary services by training professionals involved in the child welfare system, and child

abuse multidisciplinary teams in the identification, reporting, and investigation of child

maltreatment.

Identified families that can be effectively served by these programs include families who enroll

while expecting a baby and parents of newborns that enroll within 1 year after the birth of the

infant, and who assess positive for child abuse risk factors.

Basic and enhanced services of the OCAP Start Right Programs include:

• Screening and assessments to determine eligibility of OCAP services

• Intensive home visitation services and parent education and support

• Referrals to intensive services such as mental health, domestic violence, or substance abuse

• Respite vouchers for families experiencing stress or acute crisis

• Transportation to and from necessary appointments where possible

• Educational materials on parenting and parent/child interaction

• Referrals and connections to community resources such as Medicaid, food banks, quality

childcare, job training, immunizations, high school diploma, GED and higher education

opportunities and general medical care
