Services
Below are the types of Supervision Services available including:
Supervised Visitation
CTL Services will provides a trained professional to monitor the contact a non – custodial parent or family member and a child. Our Supervisors are in a non – directive role unless a violation of the pre- determined boundaries are violated. Communication between the child and parent can be facilitated if assistance is needed.
Monitored Phone Call or Virtual Visitation
Long distance calls/visits can be monitored to ensure both children and parents are relaxed and enjoy their time together.
Monitored Exchange Services
CTL Services will provide a third party professional to monitor the transfer of a child from one parent to another immediately before and after an unsupervised visit. The purpose of a monitored exchange is to protect children from potential parental conflict. Monitored exchanges are also used if there is a no-contact order in place between parents. Children can be dropped off with a professional supervisor with staggered parental arrival times to ensure there is no contact between the parents.
Supportive Parent Monitoring
Supervision is generally meant to be a temporary service. Often there is no transition plan in place for when supervision is lifted. In many cases, custodial parents are unsure how things will be without the supervisor as a buffer. The non-custodial parent may also have concerns about doing or saying something that may cause the supervision to be reinstated. Neither knows how to communicate with each other. Transitional Support Services address both parents concerns. A Parent Support Specialist meets with each parent separately to understand their worries and needs. Then a joint meeting is scheduled to set up and implement a structured communication system specifically for the family. Issues that are potential points of conflict will be discussed and addressed as well. Different levels of support and assistance will be offered and available to the family going forward. Transitional Support Services are also helpful if exchanges are difficult because children are resistant to visiting a parent. Sometimes the emotions are so elevated that children refuse to get out of the car or are crying and exchanges are out of control. This may lead to parents arguing which leads to more emotional outbursts, and so on. There are some techniques that can be implemented to ease the transitions. Parent Support Specialists will meet with the parties to understand the concerns and see if a new strategy would be beneficial. Or if necessary, a referral will be made for counseling.
Therapeutic Supervision
CTL Services has a licensed mental health professional available to provide Therapeutic Supervised Visitation. This professional is trained to provide parent/child therapy as well as supervised visitation. A written report can be prepared that demonstrates a parent’s commitment or readiness for treatment and may include a professional opinion about parent/child readiness to enter the next phase of treatment. This report will not include an opinion or recommendation about child custody/access determinations.
