How do CASAs Support Kids in Care?
Children in foster care experience frequent disruptions in their lives. They are removed from their family home, often placed with strangers, and typically have to start over at an unfamiliar school with new classmates and teachers. Social workers, lawyers, therapists and other professionals come and go increasing the child’s feeling of instability. CASAs try to mitigate this instability by building a long-term, reliable relationship with a youth; providing consistent support and continuity that is often lacking in their world.
