Mission.  To advocate for abused and neglected children who have been placed in the foster care system, and to provide for their legal representation. 

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.
