Family Empowerment Supported Visit Program

Our program works with both Indigenous and non-Indigenous families who are involved with the Ministry for Children and Family Development (MCFD).

About the Program

The program’s workers are dedicated to supporting families in their health and well-being in a holistic and respectful manner, while providing supervised access between family members.

When a social worker provides our program staff with a visitation contract, our workers and / or CSFS guardianship worker arrange and supervise visits between parents, families and extended families to ensure that families can stay connected. We provide transportation to the children to ensure they can attend the visit and provide the family with information, advocacy and support when appropriate. We work from a strength-based perspective and encourage families to interact in a positive manner.
