   103. Critical Funding For CASA

   On this episode, Tracey and Jeff discussed how critical funding is for Court Appointed Special Advocates for foster youth, and how there are significant federal cuts being made that will adversely impact the nonprofit. The realities of where funding for CASA is headed are sobering, which will be detrimental to children and families. How will CASA programs throughout the United States raise funds, and will services need to be cut down the road? What we do know is that support of CASA is a must for youth living in foster care.

   101. Nurturing Birth Parent Connections

   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.
