Children have a Right to be Heard The Support Center for Child Advocates prides itself on bringing the voice of our individual child clients to the various proceedings in which we represent them. Our volunteer lawyers, together with our social workers, visit our child clients where they live, as well as in their school settings, to learn about their likes and dislikes, their needs and strengths, their hopes and plans for their future. In this manner, the attorney-social worker team is prepared to represent the child knowledgeably in court hearings, and communicate their position to the court. This information is vital for the court to make informed and reasoned decisions concerning the life of the child.
