TX - Smith

Based in Longview, TX our goal is to provide services to those that have served or are serving our communities and our country. Our counselors have specific training and experiences that help establish a therapeutic connection with our clients.

We believe veterans and those who diligently serve our community have earned our support and respect. We are a faith-based organization that provides readily accessible counseling and trauma treatment for veterans, first responders, medical personnel, and their families. We are creating a strong community network which will help these individuals make necessary connections to lead successful lives and bring healing to them and their families.

**Our Vision**
Our organization was created to meet unmet needs. We see the struggles and hardships our veterans, first responders, and medical workers experience and we want to support them and their families as best we can. Asking for help can sometimes be the most difficult step. We would like to make it as stress-free as possible for these individuals and families to get the assistance they need.

Hannah House Ministries was founded in 1999 by Glennis and Gary Woodall. Glennis had a passion to love God and to reach women who have found themselves in a crisis pregnancy situation.  Hannah House was located in Glen Rose, Texas until 2010 when they relocated to Gilmer, Texas. 

Today, Melanie and Alan Wright oversee Hannah House.  Hannah House Ministries has now expanded on the 60 acres by adding the Gathering Place.  The Gathering Place, finished in 2021, can now house up to four women who are needing a home during their pregnancies. 

Hannah House welcomes each woman where they are on their journey.  Hannah House is located on 60 acres of beautiful and peaceful countryside. This provides our girls with the opportunity to listen and hear God, clear of distractions, so they are able to make the best decisions for their child and themselves.

Servicios de defensa infantil y prevención del abuso / negligencia infantil, Visitas supervisadas con ninos ordenadas por la corte

Child advocacy services & Child abuse/neglect prevention, Court Ordered Supervised Visitation with Children

**MISSION STATEMENT**
East Texas CASA will recruit and train volunteers to advocate for the best interests of children and youth who are removed from their families due to abuse or neglect in Gregg, Rusk, and Upshur counties.

**VISION**
The Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA):

- Ensures the child is receiving physical and mental health care services;
- Has access to school records and advocates for the child’s educational needs;
- Visits the child and placement to evaluate the level of care the child is receiving;
- Searches for and evaluates any potential temporary or permanent placements;
- Advocates to find a permanent solution for the child as quickly as possible; and
- Remains with the child until the case is closed and the child is no longer in the custody of the State.

**HISTORY**
East Texas CASA is part of a national volunteer movement that began in 1977 when Judge David Soukup in Seattle decided he needed to know more about the children whose lives were in his hands. His solution was to ask community volunteers to act as a “voice in court” for abused and neglected children. These Court Appointed Special Advocate® (CASAs) provided him with the detailed information he needed to safeguard the children’s best interests and ensure that they were placed in safe, permanent homes as quickly as possible. The program was so successful that it was copied around the nation.

**Volunteer In Court**
East Texas CASA has continued to serve abused and neglected children in Gregg, Rusk and Upshur Counties since 1992 by providing trained community volunteers for every child who was assigned to the program through the court.

East Texas CASA is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization governed by a volunteer board of directors.

East Texas CASA is a member of the National and Texas CASA Associations. There are over 1000 CASA programs nationwide and 73 CASA programs in the state of Texas.
