EAST TEXAS CASA'S MISSION IS TO PROVIDE AN ADVOCATE FOR EVERY CHILD REMOVED FROM THEIR HOME & PLACED INTO CARE. AS WE STRIVE TO ATTAIN THIS OUTCOME, WE ARE ALSO FOCUSING ON THE NEED FOR HIGHLY EFFECTIVE ADVOCACY BY EMPOWERING OUR VOLUNTEERS WITH CONTINUING EDUCATION RESOURCES, SPEAKERS, & TRAINING PROGRAMS SO THAT THEY ARE EQUIPPED EVERY TIME THEY WALK INTO A COURTROOM OR INTO A CHILD'S PLACEMENT.

GETTING TOGETHER SAFELY ("GTS") PROVIDES A SAFE, NEUTRAL, AND FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT THAT ENCOURAGES INTERACTION BETWEEN NON-CUSTODIAL PARENTS AND THEIR CHILDREN. THIS PROGRAM ALLOWS A PARENT THE ABILITY TO INTERACT WITH THEIR CHILD WHEN THEY MAY NOT OTHERWISE BE ALLOWED TO BASED ON COURT ORDERED RESTRICTIONS. THIS PROGRAM UTILIZES TRAINED VOLUNTEERS TO OBSERVE THE VISITS & RECORD THE INTERACTIONS OF THE PARENTS & CHILDREN FOR COURT RECORDS IF NEEDED AT LATER HEARINGS.
