The CAPPA Vision

Imagine a world…
Where women are encouraged to trust their bodies. Where myths about pregnancy, childbirth, the postpartum period, and breastfeeding are dispelled.

Imagine a world…
Where women are given the tools they need to make informed decisions about their pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum, and breastfeeding experiences.

Imagine a world…
Where education does not use guilt as a motivator but instead encourages families to make intuitive and informed decisions.

Imagine a world…
Where women are surrounded by caring, compassionate support throughout the perinatal period.

Imagine a world…
Where families are equipped to embrace parenthood with confidence.

Imagine a world…
Where there is mutual respect amongst support professionals and medical professionals, all working together as colleagues to give the best care for families.

Imagine an organization …
That strives every day to make this world a reality.

CAPPA...Reality begins with imagination.

Imaginations, Intentions, Attitudes
"Whatever the mind of man can conceive, it can achieve." - W. Clement Stone
CAPPA is an organization that seeks to empower families and professionals. With that in mind, CAPPA is setting an intention that all members remember this vision in every aspect of their lives. When we project ourselves with confidence, a peaceful presence, positive attitudes, and intentions as well as the constant passion in our hearts for the work we do, we will see the CAPPA Vision moving from imagination to reality...
