Organization : Exchange Club CASTLE <br /> Program: Valued Visits <br /> Funder: Children 's Services Advisory Committee RFP# 7052 <br /> C. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION (Entire Section C, I — 6, not to exceed two pages) <br /> EFocus <br /> st Priority Needs area addressed. <br /> Area 11 : Parental Support and Education <br /> 2. Briefly describe program activities including location of services. <br /> The purpose of Valued Visits is to provide a location for visiting parents to meet with their <br /> children in a safe, supervised manner. The participants in the program are referred by the courts <br /> due to contentious divorces or domestic violence, or by the Department of Children and Families <br /> because of the risk of child abuse or neglect . <br /> All referred families are screened for the appropriateness of Valued Visits, and given a date <br /> for a program orientation. Both parents and/or caretakers must complete orientation. Following <br /> successful completion of orientation, families are given a visitation schedule . The hour and date <br /> agreed upon for the family will be consistent on a weekly basis, until such time as visits are no <br /> longer needed. <br /> The visits occur in a recreation room type setting, to enhance the programs attractiveness to <br /> children, and to ensure a comfortable setting that encourages a positive, interactive visit. Age <br /> appropriate games and activities are provided for children from ages 0- 18 . <br /> Valued Visits is open for visits on Thursday and Friday evenings from 5 : 30 to 8 : 30pm, on <br /> Saturdays, from 8 : 30 to 1 : 30pm, and on Sunday from 2 : 00pm to 6 : OOpm each week. We are <br /> fortunate to have volunteers (Junior League members) to help monitor visits . The volunteers <br /> augment paid staff, and allow the program to increase its capacity. This year we will expand by <br /> offering a weekday afternoon session of visits . The services offered at Valued Visits include : <br /> Monitored Exchange — Supervised exchange of children between the residential and non- <br /> residential parent . <br /> Supervised Visitation — Supervised visits between a non-residential parent and a child. The <br /> visit is observed at all times by a monitor. The visit occurs on- site, at Valued Visits, and follows <br /> strict guidelines as to what can be said and done during the visit. Unless rules are violated, the <br /> monitor does not interact with the parent or child. <br /> Therapeutic Supervision — Supervised visits between the non-residential parent and a child. In <br /> this case, the visit monitor is a licensed mental health counselor, and takes an active role in the <br /> visit, working with the parent and child to improve the relationship . <br /> Parenting Classes — Non-residential parents are offered parent education classes before and <br /> after each visit. <br /> Services are provided at the CASTLE office at 1275 Old Dixie Highway, Vero Beach, <br /> F <br /> describe how your program intends to address the stated need/problem. <br /> e how your program follows a recognized " best practice" (see definition on page <br /> e instructions) and provide evidence that indicates proposed strategies are <br /> e with target population . <br /> The stated need or problem is unsupervised visits or contact between a child and a parent that <br /> puts that child at risk. Valued Visits addresses this need by offering a safe, enriched setting in <br /> which to supervise this contact. Valued Visits also fosters boundary and limit setting, holds <br /> parents accountable for their behavior, and enrolls non-residential parents in a parenting <br /> education class . In some cases, therapeutic intervention is offered when ordered by the court. <br /> 6 <br />
