Both Parents Program... 

facilitating healthy relationships between 

parents and children.

Supervised Visitation & Monitored Exchange  

The Both Parents Program is designed for children and their separated or divorced parents who have been involved in an abusive relationship, where conflict has occurred during visitation; or where conflict has prevented visitation from occurring.

This program provides a safe, positive and neutral environment where children and their non-custodial parent can engage in conflict free visitation or exchanges.

Allows children to maintain and/or develop relationships with both of their parents.  This is an essential element in the healthy growth, development and stability of children and families. We offer the following:

• One-on-one supervision:  A supervisor observes the details of the interaction between parents.
• Therapeutic supervised visitation:  The identification and completion of therapeutic goals between parents and children.  This service is provided by a licensed mental health professional.
• Supervision of families or sibling groups:  Family members visit together in a large room and are monitored by a supervisor.

Monitored Exchange

Supervised transfer  at our facilities whereby children are taken from their custodial parent and transferred to their non-custodial parent without the parents having contact with each other.

Families who:

• are court ordered to have supervised visits or exchanges
• fear the visiting parent may abduct the children
• have children in foster care due to abuse or neglect
• have a history of domestic violence
• have experienced visitation disruption due to conflict

Supervised visits and monitored exchanges are by appointment only.  Please call (256) 551-1610 to schedule an appointment. 

An orientation must be completed before a visitation or exchange can be scheduled.  At the orientation, the Program Coordinator will explain the program and answer any questions.  A tour of the visitation facilities will be provided to all client participants.

What is the cost?

The cost for Supervised Visitation and Parenting Plan Development is $20.00 per hour.  The cost for Monitored  Exchange is $20.00 per total exchange. Charges may be assessed against one or both parents.  A fee reduction/waiver is available to clients who qualify.

Many thanks to the Children's Trust Fund of Alabama  for funding the Both Parents Program.
