“Blessing House is a children’s crisis care center.”
Blessing House
began as “an alternate way to help families before they became involved in the child welfare system.” Visit the Blessing House website for more information!
Child Advocacy in Lorain County Does Not Stop Here:
Being Community Appointed Special Advocates for Lorain County Voices for Children, founders Sr. Mary Berigan and Donna Humphrey work actively with the Lorain County Domestic Relations/Juvenile Court to ensure that the hundreds of at-risk children in Lorain County every year have an advocate to help guide them through the child welfare system. These advocates are simply volunteers from the community; anyone can be a CASA/GAL. However, a CASA/GAL’s impact is large: “They review records; interview parents and relatives; talk to teachers, neighbors, and most importantly-the child” (Voices for Children Facebook Page).
