Advocacy strategies

Advocacy strategies

CASA strategies focus on providing a consistent, trusted voice for children in foster care to ensure their needs are met, reducing time in care, and improving permanency outcomes. Key strategies include building trust, thorough investigation of the child's situation, and evidence-based advocacy for social, emotional, and educational needs.
