Serving families with children 0–6 in the Similkameen and South Okanagan.

The Community Action for Prenatal and Child Health Program (CAPCHP) supports the health and wellbeing of pregnant people, parents, caregivers, and children from prenatal to age six. CAPCHP focuses on priority populations facing social, economic, or geographic barriers, while remaining open and accessible to all families in our region.

Our CAPCHP services are delivered in combination with LSCSS Early Years, Infant Development Program (IDP), Family Resource Centre, and gaming‑funded family programs, creating a coordinated, wrap‑around continuum of support for families with young children.

Programs may include:

• Prenatal and postnatal health and nutrition support.
• Parenting and early‑childhood development education.
• Parent–child groups and play‑based learning.
• Breastfeeding education and infant‑care guidance.
• Healthy food access, meal and snack programs, and collective kitchens.
• Referrals to community resources and early‑intervention supports.

This integrated approach ensures families can easily access the right supports at the right time, all within one connected early‑years service system.
