Description

Operates many sites for supervised visitation services and safe exchange services. Supervised Parenting: This program is available for those who are seeking parenting time with their child but are required to do so within the presence of a neutral third party. Sessions are typically two hours in length and available seven days a week. High, medium, and low supervision for visits is available. Monitored Parenting: A program for parents who are transitioning from supervised parenting and no longer need to have supervisor present at all times during the visit. Supervisors check in with the family several times during the session and document at each check-in. Sessions are typically two hours in length, but can be more or less if needed, and may occur in a group setting. Monitored Exchanges: Parents seeking to transfer their children from one parent to the other without having to have contact with the other parent can use this program. Monitored exchanges are supervised and performed by staff. Staff documents each exchange. Exchanges are performed seven days a week during programming hours.
