How Can We Help?
Parent Child Visits
- Supervised: The visit supervisor maintains sight and sound contact with the child and all parties to the visit at all times. Highest level of supervision
- Monitored: The visit supervisor is ON SITE and within line of sight OR within hearing distance of the parent-child interaction at all times. The supervisor will conduct periodic checks where they are able to both see and hear the parent-child interaction.
- Unsupervised: The visit supervisor transports a child to and from agreed upon locations and leaves the child with the designated caregiver.
Sibling Visits
- Highest Level- Sight, Sound, and Touch: Visit supervisor actively engages with the children at all times to insure their basic needs are met and facilitates positive sibling interactions.
- Moderate Level – Sight and Sound: Visit supervisor engages with the children as needed to ensure positive sibling interaction and is within sight and sound of the children and is readily available for intervention and redirection as needed.
- Lowest Level – Sight: Visit supervisor maintains line of sight supervision, but allows some private conversations, and is readily available for intervention and redirection as needed.
