Welcome to Children's Voice: CASA, Inc.

Empowering Voices, Changing Futures

Children’s Voice: CASA, Inc. is a dedicated 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in Douglas County, Georgia, with a mission to recruit, train, and support community volunteer advocates who stand up for the best interests of children experiencing foster care due to abuse or neglect. Empowered by the courts, our Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteers are the critical advocates children need in courtrooms and communities, ensuring their rights and needs are met while they are in foster care.

CASA volunteer advocates remain committed to each child until they find a loving, permanent home. For many, their CASA volunteer advocate is one of the primary, stable, caring adults in their lives during uncertainty.

We’re here to raise awareness, inspire action, and create lasting, positive change for the children we serve. With your support, we can transform the lives of these children and give them the hope and future they deserve.

Please explore our website to learn more about how you can get involved, whether through donations, volunteering, advocacy, or simply spreading the word. Together, we can advocate and elevate the voices of children who need us most.

Thank you for visiting. We look forward to connecting with you and making a lasting difference—one child, and family at a time.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

The cause of breast cancer has gained a lot of exposure and awareness in recent years, especially thanks to the National Football League. You may have noticed the touches of pink on NFL players’ uniforms this month, as October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. According to Komen.org, “In 2012, breast cancer accounted for nearly 25% of all cancers.” Here are a few tips from Komen.org to help you diagnose breast cancer or help someone going through the experience:

What is Breast Cancer?
Breast cancer is the result of malfunctioning cells and there is an increase in cell growth and not cell death. The balance between cell growth and cell death is crucial to organ systems. The result of this growth is a malignant tumor, meaning cancer.

Mammography Screening
Regular mammography screening is important in early detection. If there is a family history of breast cancer, screenings are recommended to start as early as in your twenties. Not all breast cancers are diagnosed through mammography, so self-evaluation is crucial. Visit Komen.org for the most common symptoms.

Social Support
If someone you love is diagnosed with breast cancer, it is important to provide social support through their wide range of emotions. Your loved one will experience shock, fear, sadness and anger. Time may ease these emotions, but your support will be crucial. Social support reduces anxiety, depression, fatigue and many other emotional symptoms of cancer.

Together, we are

strong.
