◀ Susan Bieley Chadwick recently became a Court Appointed Special Advocate/ guardian ad litem volunteer in New Hampshire, after completing 40 hours of training. CASAs advocate for children in the foster care system who were removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect. When cases have court hearings, CASAs represent the best interests of the children through detailed reports based on ongoing observations of the children, and information gathered from teachers, foster families, and doctors and through monthly visits with the kids themselves. There are CASA organizations in most every state, and the need is great — it’s a meaningful way to give back!
