What is a Visitation Center?

 A Visitation Center is a place where birth parents can have supervised visitation with their children that are placed in foster care, in a setting that is conducive to parent/child interaction.

 Now, instead of supervised visits taking place in DCFS offices or at fast food restaurants...

Our foster children can visit with their parents in a warm and nurturing environment such as a church, parsonage or business that is designed for comfortable, frequent and quality visitation.

Visitation is the #1 Factor to Reunification.

How & Why a Center?

The South Bay Center for Counseling, the Faith Community, Seaside Community Church and DCFS partnered to make the very first Visitation Center in Los Angeles County happen.

This was a demomstration project that involved grant funding and donations of time, training, space and people power by our partners.

This collaboration has resulted in a successful center for Visitation that other Los Angeles County Offices can duplicate to better serve children and families.
