Comfortable environment, family and child friendly
Visits at Family Bridge take place in a modern, comfortably furnished , child friendly setting. Our visitation practices support accessible, safe, and restorative family connections. Quality visitation is crucial to strengthening parent-child attachments and decreasing the sense of abandonment that children experience. The primary purpose of visitation is to maintain the parent-child attachment, reduce a child’s sense of abandonment, and preserve their sense of belonging as part of a family and community. Families and children can visit, talk, play, share a meal, and spend quality time together reconnecting in playrooms, teen areas, or nursery, each age-appropriate for children.
