SUPERVISED VISITATION PROVIDES NON-CUSTODIAL PARENTS AN OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT THEIR CHILDREN. THE NON-CUSTODIAL PARENT IS ORDERED TO DO SUPERVISED VISITS THROUGH THE COURT SYSTEM. THE VISIT IS MONITORED BY A FACILITATOR WHO OBSERVES AND MAY DOCUMENT THE MEETING. THE FACILITATOR ENSURES THE SAFETY OF THE CHILD AND UPHOLDS THE RULES OF VISITATION WHICH INCLUDE: NO TALKING ABOUT THE CUSTODIAL PARENT, KEEPING EMOTIONS IN CHECK AND NO MAKING FUTURE PLANS WITH THE CHILD. SUPERVISED VISITATION CAN BE DONE IN-PERSON, VIA WEBEX OR OVER OUR CONFERENCE PHONE.
THE 24/7 CRISIS LINE IS ANSWERED BY PHONE ADVOCATES WHO ANSWER CALLS OUTSIDE OF THE BUSINESS DAY. IN 2022 THEY ANSWERED 62 CALLS. NORMALLY, THE NUMBER OF CALLS INTO THE CRISIS LINE RANGE FROM 170 TO 270 CALLS PER YEAR. THE PHONE ADVOCATES RECEIVE A SMALL STIPEND WHICH IS LESS THAN FEDERAL MINIMUM WAGE, SO THIS PROGRAM IS FUNDED THROUGH A GRANT FROM THE UNITED WAY OF NORTHEASTERN MINNESOTA AND DONATIONS FROM LAKE OF THE WOODS COUNTY AND THE CITY OF INTERNATIONAL FALLS.
