Supervised Visitation

Supervised Visitation is focused on assuring that a child can safely have contact with an absent parent or family member without having to be in the middle of the conflict between the individuals or other problems.  The child is the primary focus, ensuring their safety and wellbeing before, during, and after the visits.

Supervised Visits allow children to have a relationship with their other parent or family member without having to worry about what might happen, but allowing them to enjoy the time spent together is a safe environment. The child's guardian can feel comfortable knowing that their child will be kept safe while still allowing them an opportunity to have contact with their other parent or family member. 

There are rules and guideline in place that everyone must follow which helps ensure the safety of the child, the guardian, and the visiting parent. Trained monitors will complete an intake and then the case is staffed to determine the best course of action and if any additional safety protocols are needed.  During the visits the monitor stays with the children at all times, but is just in the room to observe the visit and maintain the healthy and conflict free environment. The guardian and visiting parents never see one another which also adds to the safety and conflict free environment.
