Outcomes

Court Appointed Special Advocacy is a nationally-recognized, research-based best practice with many positive proven outcomes for children.

Studies conducted by the U.S. Department of Justice Office (DOJ) of the Inspector General (OIG) of the National Court-Appointed Special Advocate Association (NCASAA) show that children with a CASA volunteer:

  • Are less likely to experience new abuse
  • Receive more, and more appropriate services: therapy, health care and education
  • Are less likely to be moved from foster home to foster home, creating greater stability and minimizing the number of school placement changes
  • Are more likely to return home or be adopted rather than remain in long-term foster care
  • Have greater self-esteem, a positive attitude toward the future, value achievement, and work well with others

Parents of children with a CASA were offered and also completed more services than those assisted by the Department of Human Services alone.
