Supervised Visitation
Scheduled, monitored visits between a child and a non-custodial parent or family member.
We provide a safe and structured environment and ensure that all guidelines set by the court or referring agency are followed. Each visit is supervised by a master’s level social worker in the safe environment of our FamilyMatters office, at an hourly rate with a sliding scale available. Reports can be provided to the court upon request.

SibShops™: The Sibling Support Program
A safe space for siblings of children with developmental disabilities to talk about their feelings.
This group offers opportunities for typical siblings to gain support and meet new friends in a safe and fun environment. Through group activities, children are able to understand more about disabilities and learn how they can have a more meaningful relationship with their sibling.

Parent and Relative Caregiver Program
