Family Advocates offers the unique full-spectrum support for at-risk families as they not only support families with training and support to learn more about parenting, but they offer support to children who find themselves in foster care and need someone who can be their voice to the court (CASA). This program supports families with training, resource referral, basic needs, and more while not only trying to prevent child abuse but also by supporting those children and families that are trying to break the cycle they are in.
