Supervised Visitation
Can occur at the Family Visitation & Resource Home or other locations as determined by court order or mediated agreement. Supervised visits offer an opportunity for families to connect in a safe, comfortable, and monitored environment. This service is designed to support families separated due to high-risk or high-conflict situations in child welfare or court; and provides parents a chance to access and connect with children while ensuring children are protecting from potentially dangerous situations.
Monitored Exchanges
Safe, supervised transition of children between parents or guardians for parenting time; typically occur on Fridays and Sundays but may also occur mid-week, in accordance with parent agreements. These exchanges occur at the Family Visitation & Resource Home in Crystal Lake.
Therapeutic Visitation
With the support of a trained mental health professional, these visits offer more direct intervention and guidance to facilitate positive interactions and teach appropriate parenting skills. High-conflict families with extensive history of domestic violence, physical or verbal abuse, or situations of parental alienation, may be appropriate for therapeutic visitation.
