I volunteer with some of the most caring and selfless individuals here. Love this place and what they do for the kids.
CASA is a great organization that helps children and families. CASA of the PP Region needs volunteers. Their volunteer philosophy is the opposite of most other organizations. In a good way...the staff is there to support the volunteer, not the volunteers supporting the staff. The volunteers get a lot of help, coaching and mentoring from the CASA of the PPR staff. They are all very knowledgeable.
All of the staff here treated me and my beautiful 5 year old daughter Savannah Grace very well..they made sure we were safe and secure and protected at ALL times..thank you to Tina, Heather, Miles, and ALL of your staff during such a stressful and trying time in my life..keep up the great work guys..Stay blessed and many thanks...Jessica Fuller 🙏
While they are supposed to be unbiased and impartial, make no mistake that these people WILL take sides. They allow themselves to be swayed emotionally and will interpret the law in anyway they see fit regardless of court orders, and therapist recommendations. Do not think for an instant that these people will remain neutral. While their intentions may be good, they have proven to be easily manipulated and will fall for a sob story before they look at facts that are relevant to a court case. They will even ignore court orders if they feel they are acting in the best interests of a child, even though they have not taken into account ALL of the facts. Be extremely cautious when dealing with these people. After doing some research, this does appear to be a common problem with them across the board. When you look up CASA, you will find it is synonymous with the words scandal, fraud and bias. There appear to be many instances and court cases involving them for similar complaints throughout the U.S.
I accidentally came upon this organization, I fell in love with the mission and cause. Took the training all my teachers were great even my supervisor. They let me go because I had made some mistakes and with no warning, they show me the door. I feel so sad and scared for the girls I was advocating. They are the ones being neglected, and step on. I really hope they get to reunite with their real mom sooner than later.
I’m a foster kid and case works along with casa it self has helped me tremendously ❤️ Would recommend 100%
They talked well; and had a lot of literature and links.When I needed help; they were not there, and would not return phone calls or emails.I did not see a single man the entire time I tried to use CASA services for my family. Fifteen or twenty contacts, phone calls, a a dozen different people; I could not get a hold of a single male to try to communicate with.Not recommended.
The people are great. Hate that I have to be there by they make it ok.
They are legal representatives FOR CHILDREN in court. Their only interest is the best litagative outcome the the child or children.
This program helped me in so many ways, I could not be thankful enough. It wasnt perfect, between how the court writes things out and how the program operates. It was a little confusing. But the courts send you here and they do an absolutely amazing job accommodating within their guidelines. I would say the biggest hassle is, the courts do not understand how CASA operates. That is not CASA fault at all. I went in with the expectation of becoming a better father, and I got so much more. CASA SEPT is actually a really good program for the circumstances. I would recommend this for most situations. Thank you CASA SEPT
What in tar-nations is this crazy place??? I had family utilize this place to HELP family! These people operate at a level of GUILTY FIRST! Rather than to HELP people first! For being a NON-PROFIT they sure like to stick it to ya, and try to keep you in as long as possible until its Not worth the Risk of helping you and your family......This place needs to be shut down ASAP!
They keep a log of food the visiting parent brings, but allow the other supervised parents to feed children that are not their own. (I dont think the log they keep is accurate, but the bringing parent isnt allowed in the building.) Thats a liability in any case to allow strangers to feed children. But in this case, these are people who cant be trusted alone with their own children, why would they be allowed to give food to other peoples children?They allow my sons father to just load him up on sugar. My son has major dental issues and they wont monitor the amount of sugar he brings him.I emailed the case worker four days in advance of a day my son would miss and she tried to argue that I did not. When she finally looked at the email, she said she just didnt read the entire email.My son now says can I have candy? When I tell him no, he immediately follows it with I want to see Daddy! Thats a horrible way for the SEPT program to encourage a healthy relationship between child and the parent they are visiting.
WARNING!!! WARNING!!! I really mean it WARNING!!! WARNING!!! WARNING... I initiated court motions for Sharing Parental Responsibility. CASA was bias from the start, Jay Brady was my sons advocate and Sunni Ball was the Domestic Relations Program Manager. Do not TRUST this organization... Jay Brady LIED on me and it went on record. I never expected nor did I see it comming. The court considered these people CREDITABLE so read ALL your paperwork VERY carefully when CASA submit it and you finally get a copy. I still cant believe CASA had the AUDACITY to LIE on record. If you have a mental disability and if your advocate is BIAS you can forget a FAIR and IMPARTIAL report to the court. You dont have to believe me... You can take your chances and find out for yourself... Thats how I learned. Good Luck to the parents that are forced to deal with this organization. I still cant believe a person of trust/credibility would risk doing something soooooo unfair. Let us pray that you are not a victom of BIAS from this organization because it will become a matter of RECORD.GOOD LUCK
Does so much good for our community. Thank you for all that you do.
As a former caseworker, Ive had the unique opportunity to see behind-the-scenes into the world of CASA and am incredibly impressed. Almost exclusively volunteers, these people have the heart to work with families in distress and have multiple programs geared towards children and families who tend to get stuck in the Child Welfare system.
The people are very nice and non judgemental. The situation stinks for all parties, but they do everything in their power to make everyone comfortable.
This organizations needs to be reviewed. Very one sided and its observations of fathers just proves that they are not about reuniting parents with kids but focus more on targeting parents. Very disappointing.
They are always polite and easy to talk to.
Love the work helping children
Wasn’t my best experience. I won’t be back.
Very friendly
Jesus help them
They care
Great place
Nice staff
