CASA appoints two new child advocates

Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Titus, Camp, and Morris Counties would like to welcome their newest Advocates, Sabin Warrick and Lori Luttrell being sworn in by Honorable Virginia Schnarr.

CASA of Titus, Camp, and Morris Counties endeavors to provide a trained volunteer advocate in all abuse/neglect foster care cases assigned by the courts. CASA volunteers are screened and highly trained then appointed by judges to represent and advocate for a child’s best interest in the child protection system. Then CASA volunteers are each assigned to help one child or set of siblings at a time, so they can focus on giving that child or sibling group the individualized advocacy and attention they need.

According to CASA officials, CASA volunteers save tax payers’ money and children’s futures by helping children find safe, permanent homes as soon as possible.

CASA officials report that CASA volunteers are frequently the only stable presence in these children lives as they navigate through foster care system.

CASA of Titus, Camp and Morris Counties will begin a new Advocate Training on January 9, 2017. You can make a difference in the life of a child, be their voice. For more information contact 903-767-3679, or visit online, www.casatcm.org and the CASA Titus, Camp, Morris Counties Facebook page.
