    054. Asking The Right Questions In Foster Care

    On this episode, Tracey and Jeff discuss how we can go about asking the right questions in terms of our CASA advocacy - essentially making sure that everyone is on the same page. Everyone from educators to caseworkers to doctors to caregivers, and more. If we're just rubber stamping what the child welfare system wants, are we doing our best advocacy?  How can we dig in with collateral contacts to give the judge the best report possible? We've got a great discussion about it this week!
