Books

CASA requires that each volunteer advocate complete 12 hours of in-service training per year (according to volunteer swear-in date). Movies/documentaries and books are worth 1-2 hours of in-service training (as to be determined by a case advocacy supervisor).

Some examples of books that could be utilized are A Child Called “It” by Dave Pelzer, Beautiful Boy by David Sheff, Hope Meadow by Wes Smith, Hope’s Boy by Andrew Bridge, Push by Sapphire and Shattered Bonds by Dorothy E. Roberts.

For a complete and updated list, advocates should contact their Case Advocacy Supervisor or call (314) 615-2908.
