Child Abuse Prevention Month Series: The Role of CASA Volunteers in Child Abuse Prevention

 

To give a child a CASA is to give them a voice.

 

Becoming a Voice for the Vulnerable

In the realm of child advocacy, CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) volunteers serve as a ray of hope for children who have experienced abuse or neglect. As we honor Child Abuse Prevention Month, it's important to recognize the crucial role these volunteers play in representing the best interests of children and advocating for their welfare.

3 Things a CASA Volunteer Can Do to Support A Child

  1. Advocate for Needs: CASA volunteers serve as the voice for the child in court, ensuring their needs and wishes are heard and considered.

  2. Build Relationships: Develop trusting relationships with children, providing them with stability and support during challenging times.

  3. Monitor Progress: CASA volunteers work closely with social workers, educators, and caregivers to ensure children receive the necessary services and support for their well-being.

You have the power to make a difference in a child’s life by becoming a CASA Volunteer. Join us to attend a free information session and learn how you can help children in your community.
