Keep Me Safe Parenting Time Center
Mission Statement:
To provide a positive, healthy, and nurturing environment where children and their parents can be assured that the parenting time and supervised exchange will be conflict-free.
Keep Me Safe
Is a program of CADA, Inc. It provides a safe and nurturing place for children to visit their non-custodial parent, without the fear of experiencing or witnessing violence. It is also a place where children can get re-acquainted with their parent when there have been periods of separation.
We truly hope this service will help eliminate children from being caught in the middle and help to strengthen the relationships between children and each parent.
Benefits of Parenting Time to Children:
Sometimes a custodial parent may question the benefits of the child(ren) visiting a non-custodial parent. This concern may come from past experiences and/or a history of lack of contact between the parent and the child(ren).
Seeing the visiting parent:
Decreases the child's feelings of rejection
Helps decrease the child's fear of not seeing that parent again
Decreases the child's self blame
Allows the resolution of some issues the child may have with that parent
Helps to continue the parent/child relationship
Accessing Services:
There must be a current court order, or documentation from the referring agency that parenting time is to be monitored. An intake must be completed by both the custodial and non-custodial parents. At the time of the intake, the center policies and procedures will be reviewed and the parent must sign the policies. Supervised parenting time, or exchanges, will be scheduled after both parents have completed their intakes. The average length of a visit is 1.5 hours.
Our Services Include:
1. Supervised parenting time.
2. Supervised exchanges Monday through Friday 9 am - 5 pm.
3. Information and referral to area resources if needed.
Service Fees:
Fees are based on a sliding scale and must be prepaid.
