Metro CASA Training

 

Did you know that CASAs are required to participate in continuing education each year? Chesterfield CASA volunteers recently joined CASAs from our neighboring programs in Henrico, Richmond, Goochland, and Hanover to learn more about children’s mental health. Dr. Dorothy O’Keefe, Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist at the Children’s Hospital of Richmond, shared information on various diagnoses and treatment options for children and adolescents.
