Today, staff from PMS and PHS experienced The Journey Home. The Journey Home was presented by the Citizen Review Panel member. This includes The Call, DCFS, a foster parent, CASA, the River Valley child advocacy center, school employees, law enforcement, and the court system. The Journey Home takes individuals through the process of a child experiencing being placed in foster care. Staff were informed and experienced a child being removed from a motel room, going to Annie’s House of Hope and what it means to go to a Child Advocacy Center. They also experienced a child being placed in foster care as well as experiencing and understanding what the court process looks like for a child in foster care and their families. They were informed on what being a CASA volunteer means and the benefits of a child in foster care having a CASA volunteer and the need for foster parent in our immediate area. PES Staff went through the same journey earlier this semester.
