Our children are looking to their CASA, caseworkers, counselors, attorneys, and judge to help them gain a safe and permanent home. Our goal is the same: overcome the obstacles preventing our children from obtaining the safe and permanent homes they deserve. In order to accomplish this, we must all work together. Williamson County has many resources to help our children in need.
In addition to the resources below, we have multiple pamphlets and hand outs in our office for our advocates' use and distribution. Feel free to call or stop by to look at our supply!
