TEXAS CASA’S VISION A safe and positive future for all Texas children

TEXAS CASA’S MISSION To support local CASA volunteer advocacy programs and to advocate for effective public policy for children in the child protection system

THE CASA WAY We have an uncompromising belief that we will achieve what others

think is impossible, and each of us is an essential part of the solution.

OUR CEOLETTER FROM

A driving force at Texas CASA is the idea that we can

achieve what others think is impossible, and last year,

we made this idea a reality. I am proud to say that we

moved closer than ever before to our strategic plan goal of

providing a CASA volunteer for every child who needs one.

While the Texas child welfare system struggled with ongoing

challenges, the CASA network remained a strong and

united force dedicated to improving outcomes for children.

As the statewide membership organization, Texas CASA

has concentrated our efforts on providing more services to

ensure the local programs can continue to effectively grow

and operate, while also keeping CASA and the needs of

children a top priority at the Capitol. With that support, the

72 local CASA programs recruited, trained and supervised

a record number of volunteers to speak up in court and

represent the best interests of children in their communities.

I am continuously inspired by the work and heart of each

and every member of the CASA community. At each level of

the CASA network, we all stepped up to not only make our

voices louder, but more importantly, to make the voices of

our most vulnerable children heard across the state. It is that

dedication to making sure no child’s voice goes unheard

that is the fire that fuels our cause — it is what keeps our

movement spreading from community to community. While

these children may not be yours or mine, they are all our children, and they deserve to be safe and happy.

Thank you for everything you have done, and will do, to

contribute to the CASA movement and secure brighter

futures for Texas’ children. We couldn’t do it without you.

Vicki Spriggs, Texas CASA CEO

WORKING TOGETHER TO MAKE A DIFFERENCEEach of you is an integral part of how we continue to expand the CASA movement to find

the right solution for the children served by CASA. It takes a unified voice and effort to make

significant progress, and together, we are amplifying unheard voices and making a real

difference at a critical turning point in a child’s life.

ENSURING OUR VOICE IS HEARDBecause of all parties that are strongly committed to our cause, Texas CASA is on our way

to achieving our vision of a safe and positive future for all Texas children. As we continue

to stay at the forefront of child welfare, we are actively generating action by creating

models for statewide and national change with our initiatives and projects.

CASA? WHAT IS

When a child enters the child welfare system because his or her home is no longer safe, a judge

may appoint a Court Appointed Special Advocate, or a CASA volunteer, to advocate for the best

interests of the child in court and other settings.

CASA volunteers are a diverse group of people whose role is crucial in creating positive impact

in the lives of Texas children. Their passion and altruism strengthen our movement, changing the

future of neglected and abused children by speaking up for them, loud and clear, to help move

them out of foster care and into happy and safe homes.

At the local level, the 72 CASA programs in Texas do the hands-on work of recruiting, training and

supervising these dedicated volunteers.

At the state level, Texas CASA provides financial support and services to help the local programs

operate effectively and have the resources to seek out the best possible volunteers.

PERMANENT MANAGING CONSERVATORSHIP (PMC) PROJECTThis project focuses on children in the

Permanent Managing Conservatorship

(PMC) of the state — these children have

been permanently removed from their

homes, their parents’ rights terminated,

and placed in long-term foster care.

With more children aging out of care each

year, this project aims to create an effective

and scalable model that builds avenues

to success for these children, and can be

replicated across the state to serve every

child designated under PMC.

We were able to expand this initiative thanks

to a second year of funding from Blue Cross

and Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX) and

a grant from The Meadows Foundation.

Children from eight local programs were

served in Year 2, increasing their chances

for a better future.

PMC PROJECT OBJECTIVES

ACCOMPLISHMENTS Highlights from Year 2

• 491 children and youth in PMC were assigned

a CASA volunteer for the first time, surpassing

our goal of 305 children served

• 379 CASA volunteers were newly assigned

to PMC cases

• A guidebook is under way for Year 3 to be used

across the state to help increase and improve our

service to children and youth in PMC

• Recruited four new sites for Year 3

NORMA CASTILLA-BLACKWELL CASA OF CENTRAL TEXAS

CASA of Central Texas aimed to serve 60 new children and youth from January to August 2016. We exceeded our goals by 15%! Many thanks to the new volunteers — through their advocacy, more children and youth were able to receive help with their education, medical, mental health and long-term placement needs.

Under the leadership and facilitation by Texas CASA staff, the PMC pilot project gave our local CASA program a unique and valuable opportunity. Our staff was so pleased to be a part of this important work. Through training sessions and work group meetings, we shared knowledge about best practices and learned from each other’s challenges and successes.

COLLABORATIVE FAMILY ENGAGEMENT (CFE) INITIATIVEThe Collaborative Family Engagement (CFE)

initiative has been improving outcomes

for children in care by creating a true

team between CASA and Child Protective

Services (CPS) workers to complete the

steps of Family Finding and establish a

community of support around children

and their families.

CFE provides children and families with

a supportive network during substitute

care and lays the groundwork for lifelong

relationships that can facilitate better

emotional and legal permanency outcomes

for children. Identifying family and fictive kin

connections and creating an environment

in which everyone can have a role in the

case process allows family members to build

upon their strengths, and therefore support

one another to meet the needs of the

child while he or she is in care. This creates

a lasting support network to increase the

capacity of the parents or permanent

primary caregivers.

ACCOMPLISHMENTSHighlights from Year 1

• Worked with CPS to determine three regions to be

designated as charter pilot sites

• Developed the training and implementation

plan for Year 1

• Consulted with Family Finding model author

Kevin Campbell

• Trained more than 300 CASA and CPS staff, care

providers and members of the legal community on

CFE and the Family Finding model

• Served 20 families and 48 children

CFE INITIATIVE OBJECTIVES

Increase the number of adults serving

as a support system for parents and

children involved in CPS cases

Strengthen collaboration between

CASA and CPS to facilitate better case

management and planning for children

in substitute care and their families

SEANA TOWLER CASA OF THE COASTAL BEND

Since beginning the CFE initiative, CASA of the Coastal Bend has developed an even stronger working relationship with children, families and CPS. CASA volunteers are feeling more a part of the team with CPS and are enjoying being involved earlier on than they normally would.

The collaboration has proven to be what is in the best interest for the children we serve, as we have seen more engaged families and even children returned home earlier.

ACCOMPLISHMENTSHighlights from Year 1

• 8 pilot programs across the state

• 201% increase in the number of unique visits to

BecomeACASA.org

• 168% increase in the number of completed

volunteer inquiries on BecomeACASA.org

• Launched grassroots “Nominate Campaign” pilot

• Approximately half of total inquiries to the pilot

programs listed media from the campaign as a

referral source

STATEWIDE RECRUITMENT & AWARENESS CAMPAIGNBy working closely with local programs

across Texas using our statewide recruitment

and awareness campaign, Every Child

Has a Chance — It’s You,™ we have been

successfully generating awareness and

supporting the overall goal of serving our

vulnerable children with unprecedented

potential volunteer inquiries.

Together, we are spreading the word, and we

are now well on our way to positioning CASA

as a powerful voice and resource for our

communities and our children.

HOW WE AMPLIFY OUR VOICES: SUSAN

ETHERIDGE CASA OF COLLIN COUNTY

I can’t emphasize enough how helpful the statewide recruitment and awareness campaign has been in bringing awareness to Collin County. The response to the radio, TV and print ads was astounding. As a CASA with a limited budget, we had little to no experience in working with such a well-funded recruitment program.

Because the campaign encourages our citizens to see themselves as someone who can do something about child abuse by becoming a CASA volunteer, this year we had over 50 people who wanted to join the class! It has certainly made a difference in our volunteer inquiries.

VOLUNTEER RECRUITMENT & RETENTION PROGRAMUsing their expertise, the Texas CASA

Volunteer Recruitment and Retention

team empowers the 72 local CASA

programs through proven strategies,

tools and resources, including methods

to increase diversity within the volunteer

base and retain our current base, to

advance our vision of a safe, positive

future for all Texas children.

The team works together alongside local

CASA programs to:

• Share best practices

• Customize efforts to meet individual

local programs’ needs

• Open doors and build relationships

• Increase volunteer retention

ACCOMPLISHMENTSHighlights from Fiscal Year 2016

• Created “The Art of Coaching for Volunteer

Retention” guidebook

• Held the Volunteer Power Unleashed Summit

in Fort Worth with 100 recruiters and supervisors

representing 60 programs

• Provided onsite individual assistance for

23 programs

PATTY PISKLAK CASA OF WEST TEXAS – MIDLAND

The recruitment and retention team visited our program and analyzed our current recruitment and retention efforts. They sat with us and offered ideas we could implement to improve our results. One idea was to hold information meetings which we call “Lunch and Learns.” The attendance has been great, and we believe this has helped us double our pre-service training class size.

This year, the team helped us increase our volunteer pool by 32% and increased the number of children we served by 37%. I couldn’t be more proud of what we have accomplished and the impact CASA has had in our community.

COMMISSIONER HENRY “HANK” WHITMAN, JR. DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY & PROTECTIVE SERVICES

As the new leader of DFPS, I consider CASA one of our most important partners. That is why I am committed to enhancing our collaboration with Texas CASA and the statewide CASA network. Protecting children from abuse and neglect is a difficult task and CPS faces many challenges. Yet, I am inspired and comforted knowing CPS and the children in our care are not in this alone. Thousands of dedicated CASA volunteers advocate for children every day to ensure their needs are met.

I accepted this position knowing that CPS needs systemic change that wouldn’t happen overnight. But that change will come, and we will raise the bar for Texas’ children. I look forward to working with CASA at both the state and local level as CPS takes steps to better protect our kids. Together, we can and will create the safe, positive future they deserve.
