Selecting a Visitation Service

For many people, having a judge order a parent to have supervised visits with their children is a shock. It's certainly something most people don't think about unless and until it's required.  As a result, the task of selecting an agency can often feel overwhelming, especially with the added pressure that you won't be able to see your child again until you've found an agency to supervise the visit.

At Children First, we strive to make this stressful process as simple and straightforward as possible.  We require a copy of court orders related to visitation, a signed contract and some basic information about you and your child/children.  After an intake interview of both parents (which can be done over the phone) we pair you up with a social worker.  We make every effort to keep that same social worker on the case for the duration of the supervised visits since we know continuity is very important for all involved... especially the children.

Within 48 hours of the visit, the social worker will draft a report detailing how the visit went.  This report is sent to both parties and their lawyers, if desired.

We realize being required to have supervised visitation is difficult on parents and children. Our goal is to provide professional, licensed social workers who can help make the situation a little easier for the children, while offering both parents reassurance that the child will be safe and visit carefully documented.

If you have any questions about Children First and the service we offer, please do not hestitate to call us 206-491-2452 or email.  We look forward to hearing from you.
