Many of the families we work with have children currently in foster care. Our family visitation services provide hands-on coaching to assist parents in making real-time changes to their interactions with their children. We teach parents how to increase positive child-directed time and develop supportive and empathetic communication skills to improve attachment between parent and child.

Our supervised family visits include:

• Interaction with parent before visit to set goals regarding successful visitation
• Parent training with curriculum before visit to introduce new skills
• During visit, observation of interaction between parent and child
• Ensure that visit is fun and safe for child
• Ensure that interactions and conversation is nurturing
• Coach parent during visit regarding parenting skills
• Feedback after visit regarding noted strengths and progress parent has made toward set goals
