Supervised Visitation

Supervised visitations provide an opportunity for the child and their parent to continue to develop in a safe, neutral, home-like setting that promotes positive interaction.

Most visits have full-time in-room monitoring or intermittent monitors who observer from outside the room. Although, some visitations take place without any monitoring at all.

The level of supervision is usually determined by the court or referring agency.

Other types of visitations:

Grandparent visitation

Step-parent visitation

Sibling visitation

Guided visitation

BENEFITS OF SUPERVISED VISITATION

For the Child

Helps to maintain the bond between child and non-custodial parent.
Allows the non-custodial parent to demonstrate continued love and trust.
Provides reassurance to the child that the non-custodial parent has not ‘disappeared.’
Allows the child to anticipate the visitation without stress and without feeling in the middle of the parents’ conflict, allowing for a more enjoyable visit for all.

For the Custodial Party

With all visitation arrangements made through Kinship House, there is no contact before, during or after visitation with the non-custodial parent.
Peace of mind in knowing their child will feel secure during the visit.

For the Non-Custodial Party

Assures that contact with the child is not interrupted.
Provides for visitation without fear of any “accusations.”
