Pregnant women and people, infants, young children (0-6) and their parents/caregivers facing challenges that may put their health at risk participate in CAPCHP projects. CAPCHP projects collaborate with organizations from various sectors to support the needs of participants. Parents/caregivers and their children gain knowledge and build skills to support parental, child, and family health.
As of fiscal year 2026–27, the Community Action for Prenatal and Child Health Program (CAPCHP) will consolidate two longstanding initiatives, the Community Action Program for Children (CAPC) and the Canada Prenatal Nutrition Program (CPNP), into a single, unified program. This merger is part of a phased renewal strategy designed to improve administrative efficiency and streamline operations. To ensure a smooth transition, funding recipients in Québec will continue to operate under the separate CAPC and CPNP models through the end of fiscal year 2027–28.
