The Supervised Visitation Center provides safe, secure, neutral visitation services for families experiencing issues of domestic violence, divorce, custody, and probate issues. The Center provides a secure structured environment for children to connect and visit with their non-residential or custodial parent. Our staff are experienced in child development and the impact of trauma/domestic violence on children.
The purpose of the room is to meet the need for optimal observation while maintaining a secure, neutral, and comfortable contact place for children and their non-residential parent. Visits are limited to one family at a time. Our Supervised Visitation Center is strictly an observational Center and does not provide assessments, judgments and does not make recommendations.
