Organizations Filed Purposes:
MISSION: WE ADVOCATE FOR SAFE, NURTURING, AND PERMANENT CONNECTIONS TO FAMILY AND COMMUNITY SO CHILDREN WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED ABUSE AND NEGLECT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO THRIVE. SIGNIFICANT ACTIVITIES: IN ADDITION TO TRAINING AND SUPPORTING CASA VOLUNTEERS, WE PROVIDE CASE MANAGEMENT, PARENTING CLASSES, AND SUPERVISED VISITATION AND EXCHANGE SERVICES.
THE COURT APPOINTED SPECIAL ADVOCATE (CASA) PROGRAM PAIRS TRAINED VOLUNTEERS WITH CHILDREN WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED ABUSE OR NEGLECT. CASA VOLUNTEERS MONITOR CHILD WELL-BEING, ADVOCATES IN COURT FOR THEIR BEST INTERESTS, AND EVEN HELP OLDER YOUTH TRANSITION FROM FOSTER CARE INTO ADULTHOOD THROUGH OUR CASA FOSTERING FUTURES PROGRAM. IN 2020, 181 CASA VOLUNTEERS ADVOCATED FOR 296 CHILDREN. VOLUNTEERS REPORTED THE WELLBEING OF THESE CHILDREN AS FOLLOWS: 97% WERE RECEIVING MEDICAL CARE, 90% WERE DOING WELL WITH SCHOOL ATTENDANCE, 68% WERE MEETING ACADEMIC EXPECTATIONS, 71% RECEIVED EDUCATIONAL ADVOCACY, AND 73% REMAINED IN STABLE PLACEMENT WITH 93% OF THE CHANGE IN PLACEMENTS BEING IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CHILDREN. THE PANDEMIC ISOLATED CHILDREN FROM CARING ADULTS AND AS A RESULT WE SAW A DRAMATIC DROP IN CHILD ABUSE CASES. AS CASE FILING BEING TO PICK UP, WE ARE SEEING AN INCREASE IN THE CRITICAL CARE AND ACUTENESS OF THESE CASES THAT WENT ON LONGER BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. WE CONTINUED TO RECRUIT 87 VOLUNTEERS DURING THE PANDEMIC AND SUPPORTED VIRTUAL TRAININGS AND VIRTUAL VISITS BETWEEN CASA AND THE KIDS ON THEIR CASES. DESPITE THE EVER CHANGING CIRCUMSTANCES, THE QUALITY OF ADVOCACY FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES NEVER WAVERED.
THIS PROGRAM PROVIDES SUPERVISED VISITATION AND CUSTODY EXCHANGE SERVICES. DOCUMENTATION FROM THESE SERVICES HELPS THE COURT DETERMINE WHETHER IT'S SAFE FOR A CHILD TO BEGIN UNSUPERVISED VISITATION, OR RETURN TO THE CUSTODY OF THEIR PARENT(S) OR GUARDIAN(S). IN 2020, WE EXPANDED SERVICES TO INCLUDE PARENTING PROGRAMS AND CASE MANAGEMENT. TAKING A HOLISTIC, FAMILY-CENTERED APPROACH, THE VISITATION AND EXCHANGE PROGRAM HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO STRENGTHEN PARENTING SKILLS AND PROVIDE CONNECTIONS TO COMMUNITY RESOURCES TO SUPPORT THE FAMILY LONG AFTER SERVICES AT CLC END. COMBINING THESE SERVICES MAKES A REAL IMPACT ON THE RATES OF RECURRENCE OF CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT IN OUR COMMUNITY. IN 2020, 270 CHILDREN BENEFITED FROM 1,465 SAFE VISITS AND EXCHANGES, 96% OF FAMILIES MAINTAINED OR IMPROVED THEIR BONDS, AND 100% OF PARENTS COMPLETING THE NURTURING PARENTING PROGRAM IMPROVED PARENTING SKILLS.
