Children entering foster care face deeper trauma and often have greater mental health needs than their peers. ❤️🩹 Up to 80% of children in foster care experience significant mental health challenges, compared to roughly 20% of children in the general population.
CASA volunteers connect children and youth to the support services they need and partner with caregivers + caseworkers to schedule routine check-ups, specialist visits, and therapy sessions, ultimately helping ensure their mental health needs don’t fall through the cracks.
