Supervised visitation provides a safe and supportive environment in which children may be introduced or reacclimated to the presence of a parent under the guidance of trusted staff. This setting is ideal for introducing a parent and a child when there has been little or no prior relationship between them; when there has been a history of parenting concerns; and when issues of mental illness, domestic violence, child abuse/neglect, or substance abuse have previously impacted the family dynamic or parent/child relationship.
The supervised visitation program at Grace Abounds Counseling can be used by the legal system, the government, or parents seeking reunion with their child(ren). Supervised visitation provides a neutral environment in which a therapist will help facilitate improved parenting skills, increased trust between the custodial parent and non-custodial parent, and strong, fulfilling, and restorative bonds between the child(ren) and parent.
