Fostering Collaboration with Naomi Sawyer: the Power of Partnering with Foster Caregivers
Foster and kinship caregivers play an incredibly important role in caring for the children and youth we walk alongside. How can CASA advocates ensure that these caregivers have the support they need while engaging them as valuable team members in our advocacy for children and families? Joining us for this conversation is the phenomenal Naomi Sawyer, Advocate Supervisor and CFE Lead at CASA of Hill County. Naomi draws on her years of leadership in advocacy for youth and families in addition to her own experience as a kinship caregiver to illuminate ways CASA advocates can facilitate a stronger partnership between foster and kinship caregivers and the families of the youth they are caring for.
