~ SUPERVISED VISITATION ~

Franklin County Children's Visitation Program (FCCVP)

The FCCVP, NELCWIT's newest program, offers a child-friendly atmosphere for families who need an alternative to unsupervised visits between children and their non-custodial parents. Supervised visits can be helpful for children who have a non-custodial parent who has been involved in domestic violence, sexual violence, or substance abuse The goal of supervised visitation is to help families interact is a safe, non-threatening, appropriate manner.

Visiting parents may use the time to talk and play with their children using playthings provided by the program. All visits will be observed by visitation monitors, who may share ideas about how to use the visitation time and offer support to both adult visitors and children. Under some circumstances, they may also terminate a visit.

Safety is a priority for the FCCVP. The site and program were planned to ensure safety for all participants. The type and level of security/staffing needed for each family will be determined during the intake process and re-assessed on an ongoing basis.

Most families who are involved in the visitation program are referred by the Department of Children and Families or the courts. If you do not have a referral but believe that your child would benefit from supervised visits, or for other information about the program, call the FCCVP at 413-772-0871 x119.
