Children in Between focuses on several key areas:
1-Children in the Middle: Parents learn to recognize how they may put their children in the middle of parental conflicts, how to minimize doing this and how to coach their children to let them know when they feel caught in the middle.
2- Communication Skills: Using “I” messages to minimize defensive arguments, staying on one topic at a time, and learning how to actively listen to the other parent.
3- Conflict Resolutions Techniques: Focusing on needs vs. positions, using good communication skills, avoiding deadly topics, etc.
After the Storm is for high conflict cases. It includes all of the information from the Children in Between, and also adds guidelines for conflict management and parallel parenting as well as skill development and detailed practice exercise to help parents implement skills to reduce their conflict.

The Process of Becoming a CASA Volunteer
Step One~ Attend a Volunteer Information Session
Our Info Sessions are short meetings--typically about thirty minutes--just enough time to share an overview of CASA and answer any questions. We offer them several times a year. Classes begin January 19, 2025. Reserve your spot before the class is full!
Register for our upcoming Info Sessions below:
Step Two~ Submit an Application
Typically, the application is submitted after the Info Session, but it can be submitted before then too. Click here for the application. Completing the application in one sitting is best so the system doesn’t time out. And if you don’t have all the contact information for your references, you can use your personal information to get through the application and then provide our office with the updated information at the Interview.
Step Three ~ Schedule an Interview
The interview is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and for you to ask any questions you might have about CASA. At this meeting, we will also provide you with the forms to complete so that we can run background checks. (Child Abuse Registry, Sex Offender Registry, and Criminal Background Check). Email us at info@casamc.org to schedule an interview.
Step Four~ Attend Training
Our pre-service training is 30 hours. Fifteen hours are done in a classroom setting. These are three-hour sessions that are typically held over the course of five weeks. The other fifteen hours are completed online and incorporated with classroom training. Classroom training also includes a field trip to the Justice Center, and you’ll hear from a panel of attorneys and judges about the process. We also offer condensed training and independent study training. Contact our office for more information at 242.4191 or info@casamc.org.
