Advocacy Network for Children

The Advocacy Network for Children has announced several upcoming informational meetings for individuals interested in becoming a CASA volunteer.

National Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month recognizes the importance of families and communities working together to prevent child abuse and neglect.

CASA of Adams County, a program of Advocacy Network for Children, needs volunteers to speak up for the abused and neglected children in the court system.

The Advocacy Network for Children knows firsthand how a tough year like 2020, and the holidays that ended that year, can be bad for kids who are abused.

With schools being in session, the Advocacy Network for Children offers a child sexual abuse prevention program to schools throughout West Central Illinois.

Currently, there are more than fifty children who are in care of the court who need a CASA Volunteer who can be a voice for these children in court.

Many people fail to report suspected abuse because they do not have proof it is occurring. According to the Advocacy Network, proof is not needed to report abuse.

The Advocacy Network for Children staff planted pinwheels in honor of children who have been abused and neglected or have lost their life to abuse.

Advocacy Network for Children is happy to announce that this year’s recipient of the “Clairice Hetzler Advocacy for Children” award is Sherry Centanni.

Listen up guys! This message is for you guys (and ladies too) who hate to wrap gifts or just don't have the time to do it.
