Rational for ORRCF

Over the past few years, ORRCF Director Woody Henderson has served as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) representative, Chairman of the National Action Network's,(NAN's) Committee on Administration for Children's Services (ACS) and founder of ORRCF. At these organizations his responsibilities include but are not limited to assisting and advising parents and children that are caught up in the bureaucracy of ACS and the Family Courts.

Mr. Henderson is responsible for putting together forums, hearings and training sessions dealing with the crisis in the child protective services. These forms bring service providers, parents, advocates, legislators and the press together in an effort to help focus attention on and find more expeditious and sensitive ways to solve this crisis in our community related to child protective services. Information gathered through research, interviews, going to court, speaking with caseworkers, lawyers, law guardians, parents, legislators and the press on issues related to the operation of the foster care system and it's effect on families that fit into low-risk categories, makes it clear something is missing. more >>
