Supervised Visitation & Exchange (Stronger Together)

Stronger Together new location:

We have transitioned to the program’s new location at 10201 Main Street, Fairfax VA. Due to some unexpected issues with the move visitation services will be temporarily suspended. Exchange services will continue without interruption. Intakes will continue as we are able to schedule. 

With the transition there have been issues with our main phone line, if you do not get an immediate answer, please call the Program Manager at 571-296-5184 to complete telephone intakes. Returning calls may be delayed due to the moving process. Once services resume, we will begin to transition back to full length visitation. We will also be able to restart our Parent Café sessions. We will update this communication once services have resumed.


Safe and supportive visitation and exchange services are provided to allow families the opportunity to build healthier relationships.  The program encourages opportunities that strengthen the parent-child bond while avoiding unnecessary stress, complicated adult conflicts, and safety issues. 

  • Designed as a temporary measure as families work toward a more permanent solution.
  • Parents are provided with information and referrals to other services.
  • Families must be ordered into the program by a Fairfax County Judge.
  • The program is structured so that parents have no contact before, during, or after visitation or exchanges.
  • Separate face-to-face Intakes are required for each parent before services can begin.
  • Interpreters and other special arrangements are available, upon request.

Supervised Visitation and Exchange: A Parent's Guide to Services

Collaboration between parents and staff is key to a successful visit

All decisions about service conditions:

  • are made AFTER the Intake and Orientation of both parents and the child
  • are made with staff (who follow all safety considerations), parental input, and current court-ordered requirements
  • must follow program procedures
  • may be updated to address safety or schedule concerns
