One Adult Changed Everything | The Power of CASA in Foster Care

In this episode of Beyond the Home Study, we sit down with Karen Henderson, Director of Programs at CASA of the River Region, to talk about the life-changing impact of a CASA volunteer (Court Appointed Special Advocate) in the foster care system.Karen shares how CASA advocates support children through the court process, provide a consistent adult presence, and help ensure a child’s voice is heard. We also discuss secondary trauma, the need for volunteers (especially for teens) and the powerful story of a teenager who went from not wanting to attend school to graduating and inviting his CASA advocate to the ceremony.If you’ve ever wondered whether one adult can truly make a difference in foster care, this episode is for you.Learn more about CASA of the River Region:https://www.casariverregion.org/volunteerEmbrace a Child CASA Event:https://www.casariverregion.org/embrace-a-child Don't forget to Like, Follow, & Share! 📸 Instagram📘 Facebook 🌐 Website
