All proceeds benefit the center. The Safe Havens Supervised Visitation Center provides families a safe, neutral and family-friendly environment to exchange and visit with their children. The goals of the center is to offer assistance to parents in maintaining contact with their children and to assist the court by providing supervised visitation and safe-exchange services when the court feels that it is in the best interests of both children and parents. Every year, hundreds of families, with children make the decision that they no longer want to live together as a family. Separation, divorce and other family transitions are often a difficult and painful process. It is not uncommon for families who are separating to need temporary assistance in arranging and carrying out visitation plans between children and parents. Parties may choose to use the services of the center voluntarily, or may be referred through the court. Cases may be referred to the center when there are allegations of domestic abuse, child abuse or neglect, emotional abuse, substance abuse by a parent, the threat of parental kidnapping or a variety of other reasons. The Safe Havens Supervised Visitation Center and staff are committed to helping families establish and maintain positive parenting relationships with their children, while minimizing the effects of conflict between parents, and without putting children at risk for abuse or neglect.
