Providing safer visits for Vermont families.
About Us
The Vermont Coalition of Supervised Visitation Programs is currently comprised of nine members across the state of Vermont. These programs are the collective voice advancing safe contact between children and their non-residential parents and family members in supervised, child-focused environments.
What is Supervised Visitation?
Supervised Visitation provides a way for parents to see their children under the supervision of another person. Courts often order supervised visitation in high risk cases where concern exists for the safety of the child and others. Vermont Coalition providers offer professionally trained, trauma informed staff to provide a space for safer parent child contact to occur. Visits are monitored to ensure the policies, procedures and court orders that maintain safety are followed throughout the visit. These providers offer visitation services in convenient, family friendly environments across the state of Vermont.
What is Supervised Exchange?
Supervised exchanges are a way for children to be transitioned from one parent to another under the supervision of another person. This method of exchange can come from a court order or the mutual agreement of both parents and often happens in a public location at set, agreed upon times. Vermont coalition providers offer this service as a way to help ensure safer transitions by observing the exchange process from start to finish; helping ensure that all policies and procedures, as well as court orders are followed to maintain the safest possible environment.
