❤️💛💚 Juneteenth ❤️💛💚

Today, we recognize Juneteenth—a day that commemorates freedom, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of equity and opportunity for all.

At CASA, we believe every child deserves to be safe, heard, valued, and given the opportunity to thrive. As we reflect on the significance of Juneteenth, we also recognize the importance of ensuring that every child has access to support, stability, and a caring adult who will advocate for their best interests.

Freedom is more than a moment in history—it is a reminder of the responsibility we share to help build communities where all children can reach their full potential.
Today, we honor the past, celebrate progress, and recommit ourselves to creating brighter futures for children and families.

June is National Family Reunification Month. CASA volunteers support reunification of children and parents involved in the child welfare system whenever it is safe to do so. More than 55% of cases resolve with children reunified with at least one parent. There are often disparities in reunification. Nationally, studies show that Asian and Hispanic children are generally reunified in a more timely fashion and at a higher rate while Black children have lower rates of reunification and often spend more time in the foster care system. Younger children and infants reunify at a higher rate than older youth (14-18), who are far more likely to age out of the system without permanency.  CASAs work diligently to help address barriers to reunification as well as remove systemic issues that lead to disparate outcomes. 

In Gallatin County in 2025, seventeen children were reunified with at least one parent, seven children found permanency through Guardianship, and six children were adopted.  In each case the CASA engaged and advocated to ensure the best possible, most safe, long-term outcome for each child. 

We celebrate each successful reunification and honor those parents putting in the hard work to change their life and the lives of their children for the better.

Thank you for being a child's first teacher, strongest advocate, and greatest champion.

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!
