LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY TEAM (LAT) UPDATES and PLANNING FY24-25
Tuesday, July 30, 2024, at 6pm - 8 pm N PERSON @ 1663 Mission St. #700(2 CE Credits)
SFCASA's pilot-year for our Legislative Advocacy Team (LAT) has taught us some great lessons and achieved some great successes as well. Just to mention a few, some highlights were connecting with all three of San Francisco's state legislative representatives to have them learn more about SFCASA, having Mayor Breed participate in our Open House, and having Senator Wiener attend our Gala! As we enter our second year, we would love to grow SFCASA's LAT and invite CASAs to our first in person meeting. Feel free to come on by to learn more about how we can make systemic changes and improve policies impacting foster youth! A light supper will be provided.

CCN - CASA COMMUNITY NETWORK HUDDLE
Monday, August 26, 2024, 6-7 pm on Zoom (1CE)
The CASA Community Network (CCN) is a network for CASAs, organized by CASAs and hosted by CASAs. We share, lean in and on, and support each other through events, such as The Huddle. Sometimes we learn from expert guest speakers in continuing education sessions. In The Huddle, we learn from experts – ourselves – we have collective years of expertise among us. We are a network of support – who better understands the ups, the downs, the joys, the challenges than we do.

SUPPORTING YOUTH THROUGH A PLACEMENT CHANGE WORKSHOP with Allison Roeser
Tuesday, September 10, 6-8p on Zoom (2 CE credits)
During our time as a CASA, it’s very common for the youth we support to experience a placement change. These changes are impactful for youth and can range from feeling positive and welcomed to challenging and unwanted. Allison Roeser will support us as we learn from experienced CASAs, sharing real-life examples on how we can assist our youth during a placement change. CASA staff will also share some tips and guidelines to help along the way. In this workshop format, participants will have time to talk with each other and ask questions in small groups. You’ll leave with clear next steps and strategies on how you can support your youth during this tender time.
