as we discuss “Facilitating Healing and Change: Building Victim-Centered Approaches for Survivors Who are Visiting Parents.”

Understanding why intimate partner violence survivors are losing custody and ordered to use supervised visitation is a complex challenge that does not have an easy solution. Inspire Action for Social Change, in partnership with the Office on Violence Against Women and Justice For Families Grantees, facilitated a process to explore strategies to best support a process for healing and change for adult survivors who are visiting their children in supervised visitation programs. This publication offers key strategies for supervised visitation programs to support survivor-visiting parents and recommendations for enhancing the larger community response for survivors who lose custody of their children.

Responding to Stalking: Supervised Visitation and Safe Exchange Program Guide is for staff of supervised visitation and safe exchange programs to help identify stalking and respond appropriately to potentially dangerous situations. It provides basic information about the dynamics of stalking, how it intersects with intimate partner abuse, specific stalking tactics used when supervised visitation and safe exchange programs are involved, and issues to consider for policies and procedures. 

In this Off-the-Shelf Conversation, we were joined by the Stalking Prevention, Awareness, and Resource Center (SPARC).

"Hamlette and Their Perfectly Imperfect Egg," eBook follows a young pig through their journey into supervised visitation services. In conjunction with an online course and avatar creator, this book is intended to help supervised visitation providers help normalize and validate the feelings of children and youth and aid in building rapport and relationships with children you are just getting to know!
