In recognition of May as Supervised Visitation Awareness Month, we would like to share some facts around supervised visitation and hopefully allay some common misconceptions.
Visitation is the single biggest indicator of successful reunification. Positive, consistent, safe visitations are vital for parents and children who are separated. These visits help reduce the trauma of separation for children and helps to manage their feelings of abandonment. Supervised visitation creates a secure environment that mitigates risk and allows children to see their parents without fear of harm.
During visits, a trained monitor ensures physical and motional safety while allowing parents to continue and develop their parenting skills. Parents are allows to make parenting choices such as what the children eat and what activities they enjoy together. Children often have a wide array of behaviors and emotions before and after visitations. This is typical and is not an indicator that the visits are not productive or should be canceled, it just means there are a lot of feelings and emotions going on in their brains and bodies that need they need help to process.
Family Connections is our subsidiary program providing Supervised Visitation to families engaged in the the dependency neglect court system as well as private families in need of this service. We work together with families, caregivers, and community partners to create a safe, supportive, and child-centered space for supervised visitation. Through professionalism, clear communication, and compassionate care, we encourage healthy family relationships and positive outcomes for children.
Every connection matters!
Mother’s Day means many different things. A day meant to celebrate Mothers and Motherhood is often a painful day for many. Painful for those who have lost their mothers, for those who have not been able to fulfill the dream of being a mother, for those who are currently unable to care for their children, for those who have lost children for one reason or another, and painful for those who have cared for and said goodbye to another mother’s child. Some of us were blessed with stable, loving mothers that were able to meet all of our needs and more. Some of us were welcomed into the loving arms of a mother who didn’t give birth to us and raised as their own. Some of us longed to be held, sheltered, and cared for by our mother who was incapable of doing so for any number of reasons. This Mother’s Day we recognize the joys of motherhood, the challenges, the pain, the longing, and the sacrifice. We see you and we appreciate you.
Happy National Provider Appreciation Day!
Today, we celebrate the incredible child care providers who nurture, teach, support, and inspire children every single day. Your patience, compassion, and dedication create safe and loving environments where children can learn, grow, and thrive.
From all of us at CASAs, thank you for the vital role you play in strengthening families and shaping brighter futures for our community’s children. Your work matters more than words can express, and we are deeply grateful for all that you do.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month
It’s a reminder that healing, support, and understanding matter—especially for children who have experienced abuse or neglect. Through Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), volunteers step up to be a consistent, caring voice for kids navigating the foster care system.
Mental health isn’t just about awareness—it’s about action. It’s about showing up, listening, and advocating for those who need it most.
This month, consider how you can support a child’s well-being:
✨ Learn about CASA programs in your community
✨ Share resources and start conversations
✨ Be part of creating safe, stable futures
Every child deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported.

May is National Foster Care Month—a time to recognize the incredible foster care providers who open their homes and hearts to children in need.
Foster parents give more than a place to stay—they offer stability in uncertainty, patience in difficult moments, and unwavering support when it’s needed most. Their sacrifice often goes unseen, but their impact lasts a lifetime.
Every late night, every hard conversation, every act of kindness—it all adds up to something powerful: hope.
This month, we honor the dedication, resilience, and compassion of foster care providers. Thank you for showing up, standing strong, and changing lives every single day.

During Give Big 2026, 100% of your donation goes directly to our work, thanks to a generous investment from the Jill and Nicholas Woodman Foundation, a donor advised fund at One Valley. This means no fees or deductions, making it a unique opportunity to give in a way that maximizes your impact.
In the past a certain portion of every donation included some fees associated with the platform and credit card fees. This year we are fee free as a result of this generous donation, and we are thrilled that every cent and dollar of your donation will go to help us further our mission of advocating for abused and neglected children. Every donation will be fully used to change a child`s story and turn their lives from turmoil to one of hope and stability.
Please consider donating to CASA/GAL during Give Big Gallatin Valley from 6PM on April 30th through 6PM on May 1st. https://www.givebiggv.org/
