CASA (Court
Appointed Special Advocate), Inc. of Larimer County
is a non-profit organization that trains volunteers to speak up for
children who are abused, neglected or abandoned by their families.
A CASA volunteer learns about the child’s needs through
interviews with teachers, therapists, doctors, relatives and anyone
who may have information on the child’s situation. They then are
able to make recommendations to the Court about what is in the best
interest of the child. CASA has served Larimer County since
1984. Last year CASA volunteers advocated for 143 of these
children…about 1/3 of those who could benefit from these services in
our community.

Harmony House
Visitation Center
for children was opened in 1991 in a historic farmhouse on Harmony
Road in Fort Collins, when it was donated to CASA to help children
remain connected to their non-custodial family members while
families work toward healthy communication and parenting. In August
of 2000 an anonymous donor purchased a second house in Loveland. In
2006, 386 children and their families used the Harmony Houses for
over 4,000 supervised visits & custody exchanges. |
