Jacinta Needed Permanency

Jacinta was placed in her great aunt and uncle's home straight from the hospital after birth. For three years, as her case wound its way through the child welfare system, her great aunt and uncle cared and loved for her. Jacinta's Dallas CASA volunteer saw that the girl needed to know her great aunt and uncle were hers forever, and she began pushing for permanency.  Go to Dallas CASA's blog   to learn more.
New Advocate Jumps Right Into Medical Advocacy

Child advocate Doug Simmang came to Dallas CASA because he wanted to make an impact and knew he needed something challenging to keep him engaged. After being sworn in by the court this spring, Doug jumped in with both feet on his first case, a baby with medical needs. He's found himself serving as the go-to source for information for Child Protective Services, family, attorneys and medical professionals.

Dallas CASA Will Create Specialized Human Trafficking Training

Dallas CASA has received a grant through Gov. Greg Abbott's office to create a pilot training program to educate CASA volunteers on advocating for victims of human sex trafficking. Using the $61,000 grant, Dallas CASA has already begun work on developing the training which will teach CASA volunteers to identify the signs of sex trafficking, educate the youth they are appointed to serve on the risk of exploitation and create an environment of open communication with the youth they serve. The new trafficking training, which will be eight to 12 hours long, will be ready next year. Visit My Sweet Charity for more details.
