SUPERVISED VISITATION PROGRAM

Amcal Family Services' Supervised Visitation Program (SVP) provides a safe and secure environement, in a neutral location, for families needing supervised access to their children, supervised exchanges, or for families dealing with custody and visitation issues.

Amcal incorporates a multi-disiplinary, strengths-based, solution-focused approach. The Supervised Visitation program provides a safe and supportive environment for parent-child visits to take place in the presence of a neutral third-party Visitation Supervisor, who is not involved in the management of the case.
