CASA Advocates are appointed by the court
to work with a child (or sibling group) who have been removed from their biological parents' care
due to abuse and/or neglect.
CASA Advocates visit their appointed child/ren every 7 to 10 days at their placement
(a foster home or relative placement); and report back to the court how the child/ren are doing throughout their foster care experience.
Advocates get to the heart of what is going on with the children.
Through the CASA Advocate's consistent presence and relationship with the children, CASA Advocates ensure the needs and wishes of the children are not overlooked throughout their foster care experience.
