💜 September is Su***de Prevention Month 💜

Every child deserves to feel heard, valued, and supported. Sometimes, simply having a trusted adult who listens and shows up consistently can make a lasting difference.

This month, we encourage everyone to check in, listen without judgment, and remind the young people in your life that they matter and they are not alone. 💜

🐾 Happy National Dog Day! 🐾

Ollie is hard at work today doing his part to help Rush Shelby CASA recruit new volunteers! 🐶💙

He’s got the puppy-dog eyes covered… now we just need YOU!

There are children in Rush and Shelby Counties waiting for a CASA volunteer to show up, speak up, and be a consistent person in their corner.

🐾 Ollie’s National Dog Day request: Become a CASA volunteer and help change a child’s story.

Because apparently recruiting CASA volunteers is ruff work. 😉🐾

💙 Did You Know?

CASA volunteers are appointed by a judge to advocate for a child’s best interests and help ensure their voice is heard in court.

One volunteer. One voice. One child who knows someone is in their corner. ❤️

Be their voice. Become a CASA.

💙 DID YOU KNOW?

Nearly 100 children are currently waiting for a CASA volunteer in Rush and Shelby Counties.

These children already have a case. They already have a story. What they’re waiting for is someone with the time to listen, learn, and advocate for what they need.

You don’t need to be a social worker or attorney to become a CASA. You just need to be willing to show up.

Nearly 100 kids are waiting. Could one of them be waiting for you?
