102. We Appreciate Our CASA Volunteers! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On this episode, Tracey and Jeff discuss the admiration and appreciation they, and the CASA team, have for all of the volunteers who make CASA possible. They talked about how being a CASA volunteer isn't the easiest volunteer opportunity in the world, yet there is dedication to children and their needs in our community. They discussed CASA SHaW's Volunteer Appreciation event and how many partners come together to make the CASA experience possible.
101. Nurturing Birth Parent Connections (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On this episode, Tracey and Jeff dive into how we can and should nurture birth parent connections within the foster care world and realm. Having compassion for biological parents who have lost their children to foster care should be a prevalent thought and action in the CASA space. Having a "gotcha mentality" when communicating with biological parents isn't always the most productive for kids as the parents are going through their own trauma. It's a great and honest discussion.
100. Every Role Matters (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On this episode, Tracey and Jeff discussed how every role matters for children who are living in the foster care system. From resource parents to caseworkers, to school personnel to family court judges - and yes, CASA volunteers - every single role matters for a child as they are navigating the rough waters of the child welfare system.
099. Planting Seeds of Hope (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On this episode, Tracey and Jeff talk about planting seeds of hope for children and how the CASA experience encapsulates this notion. While the CASA journey is one that takes patience, giving hope to children is the goal - because we want kids to not just survive, but thrive! This can be done in small ways, and also larger ways. Consistency is always the key to planting seeds of hope.
