OUR MISSION

Brightside Child & Family Advocacy provides services to prevent child abuse and neglect by
​strengthening and supporting healthy family relationships.

OUR VISION

We believe in a community where every child is given the opportunity to thrive in a safe and loving home. ​

OUR HISTORY

Since 1991, Savannah CASA has recruited, trained, screened, and supervised volunteers to provide individualized advocacy for children who have experienced abuse and neglect. CASA volunteers advocate for children in foster care by collecting and delivering objective information to the judges of the Juvenile Court.

After 30 years of providing advocacy to thousands of children in foster care, Savannah CASA has evolved to serve more families and children in crisis. Under the new name Brightside Child & Family Advocacy, our organization provides a wide range of services to prevent child abuse and neglect in Chatham County.

Brightside launched The Bright House, a supervised visitation and family support center. Parents develop healthy relationships with their children in a warm, homelike environment while participating in court-mandated supervised visitation. 
​
As the 2021 recipient of the Georgia CASA Award of Excellence, Brightside Advocacy will continue its high-quality and personalized advocacy for children in foster care. With more than 200 trained volunteers, Brightside’s Savannah CASA program ensures that children in our community experiencing foster care have a committed advocate helping to change their stories.

​Brightside Child and Family Advocacy is the Prevent Child Abuse Georgia (PCA Georgia) local council for Chatham County. In this role as Prevent Child Abuse Greater Savannah, we work to expand current programs to bolster child abuse and neglect prevention efforts and awareness in the community. 

OUR STRATEGIC PLAN

Our current strategic plan is a three-year plan from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2025.
