My CASA Journey – Supporting Grandparents

My CASA Journey – Supporting Grandparents

by | Sep 25, 2024 | VOICES News, VOICES News 2024

As an advocate, a CASA gets to know the child’s foster, group or kinship home often referred to as “placement.” Sometimes a CASA finds advocating for the child means being a conduit to help placement find much needed resources.

For example, placement might be a grandmother now caring for her grandchildren – a new dynamic made more complex with financial and legal challenges.

But awareness of  community partners such as Duet for Grandparents can mean education, grand family outings and even a GrandKin cafe for her to connect in person with other grandparents.

Said one CASA: “My current child is in a kinship placement & this has been a really great resource for me to share with the child’s grandmother.”

A supportive community surrounds youth in foster care and CASA volunteers help make those connections.
