What happens after removal? What are the legal next steps? What is the timeline for a dependency trial? How does substance abuse impact a case? These are all questions CASAs are often left asking that this educational opportunity aims to answer. Join VOICES and Chris Phillis, Director of Maricopa County Public Defense Services, as she educates CASAs on the logistics of the child dependency system and how substance abuse cases impact it. This training will also explain the do’s and don’ts of working with attorneys in court and helping foster parents learn how to better support reunification when appropriate. When reunification is not the case plan though, what are the other options available to foster youth? Bring your questions!

Note: this training was previously held at VOICES on January 28, 2020
