During the stay at home order, at risk children are not being seen by teachers and other community members regularly. This means that abuse and neglect can go undetected. A CASA can help the Family Court Judge and other service providers protect and serve the needs of these children. As a CASA you are trained to help foster children stay safe and thrive even during this pandemic. We do observe the CDC social distancing guidelines even as we keep in touch with our foster youth.
