CASA on the Go: Continuing Education for CASA Volunteers
Connection-Informed Advocacy with Candice Dosman
Studies have found that one of the strongest indicators for child well-being is the number of committed adults in a child’s life. How can CASA volunteers use a connection-informed advocacy lens to actively and skillfully engage the children and youth we work with as well as their family and community? This episode features Candice Dosman, Director of Collaborative Family Engagement at Texas CASA and our resident expert on connection-informed care, sharing strategies for CASA volunteers on how to advocate for children and families to be surrounded by a dedicated support system that is meant to last long after CPS involvement ends.
