ABOUT CASA

Last year in Collin County over 1,650 cases of child abuse or neglect were confirmed by Child Protective Services. In 2018, CASA served 597 children who suffered abuse or neglect so severe, that they were removed from their homes and placed in foster care. Unfortunately, the system that is supposed to protect children isn’t always equipped to ensure that their basic needs and rights are protected.
There is a simple and effective solution: A CASA Volunteer. CASA stands for Court Appointed Special Advocate. A CASA is a trained advocate who provides a consistent, strong and clear voice for abused and neglected children as they navigate a complicated legal system. CASA often serves as the only stable, trusted adult in their lives as children encounter the changing dynamics of the foster care system

WHO WE ARE

Our mission is to provide safety, healing, and justice for children victimized by abuse or neglect in our community. Each year, more than 4,500 children are reported as abused or neglected in Collin County. Through the services provided at the Center, these children are able to find safety, healing, and justice.
Children’s advocacy centers provide a safe, child-friendly environment where law enforcement, Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS), prosecution, medical and mental health professionals may share information and develop effective, coordinated strategies sensitive to the needs of each unique case and child. The CAC model operates by bringing services to the child instead of the child going from place to place to tell their stories and get help.
