CASA guardian ad-Litem programs provide volunteers that learn the family circumstances in child abuse cases and make impartial recommendations to the court. Judges find the impartial insights of trained volunteers helpful in discerning the true state of the family and the risk of future abuse and neglect to the child.
Take a moment and read the Washtenaw County Blog to get a feel for how this program works.
It is a bigger step to convince people that healthy children become healthy citizens, but it is true.
