Visitation is vital to a child maintaining family relationships and cultural connections. Visitation refers to the scheduled contact parents have with their children. Often, parents are court ordered to have these visitations supervised or facilitated by the Department of Human Services. For more information about supervised visits, please refer to the Visitation Resource Guide.

The visitation locations offer a safe and comfortable environment for families to visit. Accessibility to kitchen or outdoor area is available based on location.
