At least 1 in 7 children in the United States experienced child abuse or neglect in the past year, according to recent statistics. However, child abuse and neglect can be prevented. Prevention begins with access to resources, and organizations like the Cobb County Juvenile Court CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) are instrumental in this effort.
CASA volunteers work to identify children and families in need of support. They connect them with essential services and resources to help strengthen families and prevent potential crises. The dedication of these volunteers is crucial in fighting child abuse and neglect.
Everyone is encouraged to join the effort to make a significant impact in children's lives. For more information about how to get involved or support the cause, individuals can learn more about CASA and its programs.
