A peaceful way to ensure parents and children stay connected.

Safe Transitions for Families

Safe​ ​Transitions​ ​for​ ​Families​ ​is​ ​a​ FREE,​ ​No​ ​Contact​ ​supervised custody​ ​exchange​ and supervised visitation ​program.​ ​​ ​

Custody exchanges​ and supervised visitation may ​be​ ​very​ ​anxiety​ ​provoking​ ​for​ ​all​ ​parties.​ ​​ ​Our​ ​mission​ ​is​ ​to​ ​promote​ ​the​ ​physical and​ ​emotional​ ​security​ ​of​ ​children​ ​and​ ​their​ ​families.​ ​Our​ ​goal​ ​is​ ​to​ ​reach​ ​families​ ​struggling​ ​with custody​ ​exchanges or supervised visitation​ ​for​ ​any​ ​number​ ​of​ ​reasons​ ​and​ ​to​ ​facilitate​ ​custody​ actions​ ​in​ ​a​ ​neutral, family-friendly​ ​environment.​

When​ ​a​ ​family​ ​contacts​ ​us​ ​for​ ​services​ ​or​ ​is​ ​referred​ ​to​ ​us,​ ​we​ ​meet​ ​with​ ​each​ ​parent​ ​or guardian​ ​separately​ ​to​ ​conduct​ ​an​ ​interview.​ ​​ ​At​ ​the​ ​end​ ​of​ ​the​ ​interview​ ​process​ ​we​ ​assign each​ ​parent​ ​or​ ​guardian​ ​their​ ​own​ ​parking​ ​area,​ ​entrance​ ​and​ ​waiting​ ​room.​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​STFF staff​ ​have​ ​had training​ ​in​ ​family​ ​violence,​ ​custody,​ ​confidentiality,​ ​and​ ​de-escalation.​ ​​ ​They​ ​also​ ​have​ ​their​ ​child abuse​ ​clearances​ ​and​ ​criminal​ ​background​ ​checks.​ ​​ ​Our​ ​location​ ​has​ ​indoor​ ​and​ ​outdoor surveillance.

​

This program is modeled on the Guiding Principles for Safe Havens: Supervised Visitation and Custody Exchange Grant Program.
