A look at San Benito County’s Juvenile Dependency System
1. There are approximately 60 children currently in San Benito County’s Juvenile Dependency System.
2. Children need deeper connections to their community. Advocates will facilitate connections in the community; make certain proper visits are taking place, connect children with appropriate resources, and support the team from the Health and Human Services Department in prioritizing the needs of the children.
3. Siblings removed from the home sometimes are placed separately from each other. A CASA works to bring these children together on a regular basis.
4. With changes in living situations, communities, and schools, foster children rarely have consistent adults in their lives. A CASA advocate serves as that constant adult and meets with the child regularly to afford greater attention to their needs and desires.
