Yolo County CASA
Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children
Last week, while Executive Director Tracy Fauver was on vacation in Maine, she visited former foster youth D, her brother Marcus (also a former foster youth) and their aunt and Grandmother. Last week we featured Marcus’ CASA’s story and D’s story is featured here. We are so grateful for our incredible #heartsofyolo community. We hope you enjoyed this “full circle” moment as much as we did!

🎃 Happy Halloween! 🎃
For many youth in foster care, home should never be a scary place. CASA volunteers help make sure that every child has a safe, trusted adult by their side—someone who provides stability, support, and care.
Together, we can be the light that brightens their path. 🕯️
#YoloCASA #SafeSpaces #Halloween
🎃 As Halloween approaches, let’s remember that while many children enjoy costumes & candy, for some—especially children in foster care—the holiday can be overwhelming. Sensory overload & spooky decorations may trigger past trauma. 🧠💔 Let's aim to create calm, enjoyable experiences that make them feel safe. Being trauma-informed means understanding & showing empathy. By making thoughtful adjustments, we can help every child celebrate in a way that supports their well-being. We are so proud of our CASA volunteers for continuously adapting to meet the unique needs of each child, while having a good time!✨💙 #HalloweenWithHeart #TraumaInformedCare
