CASA Family Systems

CASA/Family Systems is a private, not-for-profit organization serving Bamberg, Calhoun and Orangeburg counties whose primary focus is providing prevention, advocacy, and intervention to individuals and families who have been affected by sexual assault, family violence, and/or child abuse and neglect.
In the State of South Carolina, CASA/Family Systems operates one of the 19 statewide temporary emergency domestic violence shelters, one of the 23 sexual assault and domestic violence programs, and one of 17 Child Advocacy Centers.

HISTORY

CASA/Family Systems was chartered in July 1979 as Tri County CASA (Citizens Against Sexual Assault) as a rape crisis center.

This was an effort by a group of citizens in Bamberg, Calhoun and Orangeburg counties who were concerned about victims of sexual assault. Those concerned included medical and mental health providers, and law enforcement. In 1990, the agency expanded its services to include victims of domestic violence and in 1991 changed its name to CASA/Family Systems to be more inclusive of the array of services offered and to recognize the growth.

Since 1991, CASA/Family Systems has expanded its services to offer the following:

Sexual Assault Services

Community Domestic Violence Services

Strengthening Families Program

Emergency Shelter for Battered Women and their Children

Community Advocacy Program

Edisto Children’s Center – A Children’s Advocacy Center

Integrity

Excellence

The quality of our work will exceed expectations. Good enough, is not good enough.

Confidentiality

Whether on or off duty, we will respect and protect the privacy of our clients at all times.

Compassion

We will not judge, condemn, or criticize our clients. We will communicate and serve with empathy, understanding, and kindness.
