This grant is for communities to establish or enhance supervised visitation and safe exchange services for children in situations involving domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, child abuse, or stalking. Studies indicate that victims and their children face increased violence risk post-separation, as abusers often exploit visitation and exchange opportunities to inflict further emotional or physical harm. This program aims to mitigate these risks. Funded services must demonstrate a profound understanding of domestic violence dynamics and its impact on children, emphasizing accountability for offenders. The initiative supports safe environments for children during parental transitions, ensuring protection for vulnerable families.

| Description: | The Supervised Visitation Program provides an opportunity for communities to support supervised visitation and safe exchange of children in situations involving domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, child abuse, or stalking. Studies have shown that the risk of violence is often greater for victims of domestic violence and their children after separation from an abusive situation. Even after separation, batterers often use visitation and exchange of children as an opportunity to inflict additional emotional, physical, and/or psychological abuse on victims and their children. Visitation and exchange services provided through the Supervised Visitation Program should reflect a clear understanding of the dynamics of domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking; the impact of domestic violence on children; and the importance of holding offenders accountable for their actions. |
