Supervised Visitation
When deemed appropriate and safe, the Supervised Visitation program seeks to restore or create responsible co-parenting in a self-directed environment independent from an outside agency and produce an appropriate child-raising ethic in families experiencing parental conflicts.
Who can participate?
Both custodial and visiting parents who are not living together due to separation, divorce, or other absence of co-residence, and who are experiencing conflict, or are at risk of experiencing conflict, over parent-child access.
