Our Mission
The Mission of CASA is to serve as an independent voice in court for abused and neglected children of Wise and Jack Counties. CASA volunteers are trained and court appointed to investigate, monitor, report, and serve as advocates in court for abused and neglected children’s best interest. The CASA volunteer is there to help secure a permanent placement in a safe and caring environment for the child whom he/she serves as a voice in court.
Our Services
Who We Are
Promoting and protecting the best interests of abused and neglected children involved in court proceedings through the advocacy efforts of trained volunteers. Serving children in Wise and Jack Counties.
Volunteer
When a child enters the child welfare system because his or her home is no longer safe due to abuse or neglect, a judge may appoint a committed volunteer to advocate for the best interest of the child in court and other settings. That volunteer is called a Court Appointed Special Advocate.
Donate
A donation to CASA of Wise and Jack Counties is an investment in a child and the community. With your gift, you can help the CASA program to provide the very best volunteer advocacy for children removed from their homes due to abuse and/or neglect. The children appreciate your support!

Here’s what’s happened since Prosper ISD put mental health first after 4 students died by suicide
www.dallasnews.com
It’s been a long time since anything felt really normal for any of us, but for North Texas teens, this slog of a deadly and isolating pandemic seems...Children need to feel all their emotions,
without fear of rejection
to mature into their healthiest true selves."Perhaps if tearful little boys were comforted
instead of shamed,
there wouldn’t be so many angry men
struggling to express and empathize with emotion.
Perhaps if angry little girls were heard
instead of silenced,
there wouldn’t be so many hurting women
struggling to understand and love themselves.
And vice versa.
Perhaps if children's emotions were understood
instead of punished, there wouldn’t be
so many armored people
struggling to be connected and authentic.
Children need to feel all their emotions,
without fear of rejection
to mature into their healthiest true selves.
Being hard on children
does not make them stronger.
People are strengthened through
compassion and understanding,
regardless of gender or age."
