The number of child abuse and neglect cases is continuing to rise each year. Kentucky has the distinction of having the highest rate of child abuse and neglect in the country. This rate is largely due to the increase in substance abuse and the resulting neglect surrounding the parents' loss of concern for the child.

CASA stands for Court Appointed Special Advocates. They are the voice for abused and neglected children in the court system and are there to help make the best decisions for the best interest of innocent children.

All volunteers receive special training and program support.
