How can CAPTC help you?
About Capacity Building Assistance
We assess the strengths and needs of local, state, and national health agencies and create tailored plans to build their capacity to best serve their diverse communities.
STI Clinical Training
We support healthcare providers in the Western United States (AZ, CA, HI, NM, and NV) to promote health equity and improve clinical outcomes for those affected by sexually transmitted infections and HIV.
Family Planning
We provide technical assistance and training to family planning providers and promote comprehensive sexual health education and services for low-income Californians.
Disease Intervention
We train the disease intervention workforce to support individuals with communicable infections and those that may be at risk of infection.
Communications & Evaluation
Our communications and evaluation teams serve as the backbone of the CAPTC. They provide support across our service areas to amplify our innovative work.
The CAPTC Difference
We believe in the power of human-to-human connection. For providers, we create learning environments in which they feel safe to learn, reflect, and explore themselves. In turn, these providers have a bigger tool belt so they can offer welcoming, inclusive spaces to their clients to receive care. We are more than trainers, we promote an ethic of compassion, empathy, humility, and inclusivity in healthcare.
