SACRAMENTO
CHILD ADVOCATES, INC.
SERVICES
 SCA’s mission
is to be an exemplary agency
using best practices and
utilizing effective advocacy
through all levels to ensure
that abused and neglected
children in the dependency
system are able to realize their
right to live in a permanent,
safe, and nurturing environment. This includes
ensuring that when the children
leave the dependency system they
have the educational foundation
and resources to help them to
contribute positively to our
community.
To
accomplish this mission
Sacramento Child
Advocates' social
workers and dedicated
attorneys work together
to provide
the voice, for
abused and neglected children who have been
placed in the foster
care system.
What
makes SCA's approach to child advocacy so different
is the attorney-youth advocate social worker
model of legal representation. SCA's attorneys
collaborate with professional youth advocate
social workers (all of whom have Bachelor's
or Master's degrees in social work) to make
thorough recommendations to the court in the
best interest of the child.
By combining legal
and clinical expertise, SCA is able to truly
understand the individual situation of every
child represented, and can make accurate recommendations
on their behalf to the court. This attorney-youth
advocate social worker model is imperative to
the representation of children in these special
situations because the issues involved are not
just legal, but also psychological and emotional
in nature. SCA puts an added emphasis
on making sure that the educational and mental
health needs of each child are addressed at
each hearing.
