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

  • allows family members a time and place to visit with the child
  • offers activities and opportunities for families that encourage communication and bonding
  • monitored small group visitation provides a setting for several families at once
  • program staff are available for support during the visit
  • provides safety for the children without being intrusive
  • approximately 90 minutes long, evenings and weekends, by appointment only

Supervised Exchange

  • supervised exchange of children for offsite visitation with a noncustodial parent or family member
  • reduces conflict and stress while providing a safe exchange
  • allows children to be exchanged without any direct contact between the parents
  • if there is concern for the safety or well-being of the child during the exchange, the visit will be cancelled
  • By appointment only, based on staff availability

 

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
