About Us
We believe children love both parents irrespective of their circumstances and look forward to every opportunity to spend time with them.
Unfortunately, often court-ordered supervised visitation time is the only time children can spend with their beloved parents. Although the goal of supervised access can be multifaceted, we believe that the child’s safety and promoting healthy, age-appropriate interaction between parent and child should be the paramount focus of the supervised visitation time.
Our staff comes from various educational and professional backgrounds, such as social work, child and youth care, early childhood learning etc. They are skilled in guiding you with the best strategies to meet your child’s emotional needs in times of absolute crisis. Their only goal is to empower you to build a healthy foundation for a better tomorrow and bridge the mental and emotional gap between you and your child.
In my experience working with children and families, I have observed that a parent stripped of their parenting role is more likely to feel guilt and anger about being separated from their child. This feeling of helplessness, shame, and anguish present a challenge in achieving optimal positive time with the children during the visitation. Therefore, our visitation coaches work with a strength-based approach and provide you with much-needed parenting support during the visits. They help you cope with your feeling and be consistent with your visits.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to bridge the gaps in community services by offering comprehensive programs that promote healing, growth, and independence. We are dedicated to fostering resilience, promoting self-advocacy, and championing the potential of every individual we serve.
