Supervised Visitation

Many families involved with child welfare attend supervised visitations, since the parent and child are not living together (the child is in foster care). The benefits of supervised visitation include:

  • Shortens the length of stay for the child in kinship or foster care
  • Reinforces the parent’s skills for positive interactions
  • Improves psychological well-being
  • Builds confidence
  • Reduces the negative effects of separation for families
  • Often leads to reunification with parents

Family to Family Denver provides trained individuals to oversee supervised visits. The individuals are social workers or community advocates that undergo intensive training to help families.
