Mission Statement
Families Together - a supervised visitation and exchange program - seeks to provide a safe, neutral and secure environment for parents and children to maintain and/or re-establish a connection with each other.
Description
Families Together provides an environment where children can meet with their non-custodial parent. We provide supervision, or monitoring, of these visits, which includes intensive interviews and orientation, followed by regular (generally weekly) visits that are an hour to an hour-and-a-half in length. The priorities for this service are the safety of all those involved, and that the environment be child-friendly. Many of our families arrive following orders from the family court for this service (generally due to risks associated with unsupervised visitations); others self-refer.
