Five community members have been sworn in as CASA/GAL volunteers.
Each will work as a Court Appointed Special Advocate/ Guardian ad Litem for abused and neglected children in the Flathead County foster care system. District Court Judge Heidi Ulbricht presided over the ceremony last month and administered the oath.
Each new advocate received a certificate for the 56 hours of training they completed. The training covers topics such as the CASA/GAL role, child development, substance abuse disorders, domestic violence, assessing family strengths, the court process, laws relating to abuse/neglect, cultural diversity, interviewing, and how to write reports to the court.
