To provide a safe, secure, and home-like environment
to assist families who have been
affected by abuse, neglect, divorce, and/or separation to rebuild family
relationships through supervised visitation and neutral exchange services.
The need for supervised visits might include
.
. .
a child abuse/neglect investigation
child custody issues
protection/ restraining order
other safety, mental health, or legal
issues
. . .
where a neutral ground and/or trained personnel is needed
to ensure the comfort and safety of the parties involved.
The Visitation Center provides a homelike
atmosphere which is conducive to family interaction. Visits are
supervised by professional or trained staff who conduct themselves
in the least intrusive manner possible while still assuring that proper
monitoring occurs.
We want families to conduct themselves
in a relaxed manner and to think of the Center as a "home away from
home."
Activities such as games, crafts, and toys
are available to visiting families. Special arrangements can be made
to celebrate birthdays and special occasions.
Referrals to the Visitation Center are
only accepted from Greene County Juvenile or Domestic Court.
The Visitation Center reports back to the
referring court, documenting whether the visit/exchange occurred and whether
there were any problems. |
