Supervised Parenting Center for Fathers

OUR MISSION is to facilitate positive parental contact with children and to reduce children’s exposure to inter-parental conflict around parenting and visitation issues.

Services

Father Matters Supervised Parenting Center (SPC) provides supervised parenting time services and monitored exchanges for parents who have to visit with their children in a safe and monitored environment. Our services are available to men and women.

OUR VISION is to help every child move toward having a better relationship with their father and reunify.
Services Offered

  1. Standard Supervised Parenting: The purpose is to provide a protected setting for parent-child contact. A supervisor is with the parent and child at all times and WILL observe and note the details of such interaction.
  2. Monitored Exchanges: Exchanges occur to reduce conflict between the parents and the child witnessing such conflict when being transferred from one parent to the next parent for unsupervised parenting time. Staggered pick-up and drop-off times are usually arranged so that the parents do not have to have contact with one another. The actual exchange is monitored by the parenting center staff who generally try to ease the process for the child.

Parents STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to bring toys, activities and food that you would like to have available during your parenting time.
