Supervised Visitation

When there is conflict in a family, including divorce or separation, issues of substance abuse, or other domestic violence, time for parents or other relatives with their child(ren) can become problematic. CFC provides a warm and safe environment for children to visit non-custodial parents or other relatives. Visits are scheduled for 1 hour and our staff can accommodate a maximum of two visits per week, per family (Any additional time will be determined on a case by case basis and based on program availability). A trained visitation monitor is present during each visit. Supervised visitation may be court ordered or self-referred.

Orientation

An orientation must be completed with each party before supervised visitation is scheduled. Orientation is scheduled for the non-custodial party first, and once it is completed the custodial party orientation is scheduled.  During orientation, CFC policy and procedures are reviewed, staff will answer questions, provide a facility tour and obtain scheduling availability.  A separate child orientation is conducted, during the custodial party’s orientation .  During this time, a staff member engages the child(ren), assesses their feelings about visiting the other party, and addresses any safety concerns.
