This membership includes adherence to Ethical Guidelines and Standards of Practice set forth by SVN and further adopted by the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts (AFCC).
Supervised Visitation Processes (Supportive or Therapeutic):
The goal of Supportive (Quasi-Therapeutic) Supervised Visitation is to allow a parent/guardian or other family member/individual the opportunity to build a relationship with a minor in a safe setting where the child’s needs are paramount. Although trained and licensed as a therapist as well as a domestic mediator and parenting coordinator, this process is not psychotherapy or custody evaluative in nature. Therapeutic Supervised Visitation is a distinct process where a full clinical assessment is performed and specific goals are created and achieved during the visits; this process is considered a form of psychotherapy, however is not a custody evaluation.
