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

An opportunity for parents and relative caregivers to share their feelings, fears, and experiences.

A place to feel less alone and less isolated. A wide range of topics are discussed, and resources are shared. Connect with others, connect with yourself and connect with your community.
