Community Action Project of Tulsa County, Inc. (CAP Tulsa)

Cap Tulsa

CAP Tulsa serves over 1,650 children ages birth to five through preschools and home-based programs that promote child development and family well-being. Its home visiting program, based on the Parents as Teachers (PAT) model, currently supports 172 families through home visits, child screenings, group connections, and resource referrals, helping parents strengthen interactions and build effective skills. Recognizing the need to better support maternal health, CAP Tulsa has a goal of expanding its services for pregnant and postpartum women to 30 participants. Supports include providing access to health education, counseling, and supportive services from pregnancy through three years postpartum. Program enhancements include expanded health and mental health screenings, postpartum depression assessments, father engagement strategies, healthcare navigation, and culturally responsive parenting education. Serving primarily low-income, multilingual families, this expansion aims to improve maternal health, reduce infant mortality, and foster resilience to create healthier beginnings for Tulsa’s youngest children.
