The resolution, introduced on February 19, 2025, acknowledges the vital role of Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) in advocating for the best interests of children involved in child abuse and neglect cases in West Virginia. It highlights that CASA programs operate under the principle that children thrive best with their families when safely possible. The resolution notes that West Virginia has 11 local CASA programs that recruit and train community volunteers to represent the interests of over 3,500 children in 2024, emphasizing the importance of community support and contributions to sustain these programs.

Furthermore, the resolution formally recognizes the essential contributions of CASA volunteers in providing a voice for abused and neglected children in the state. It calls for the Senate to acknowledge their efforts and directs the Clerk to send a copy of the resolution to the West Virginia CASA Association, reinforcing the commitment to support and promote the work of these advocates in the community.
