Enhanced the Supervised Visitation and Exchange program by adding
a part time case manager to facilitate communications with
families and judicial colleagues. We are grateful for an ongoing
grant that makes it possible for parents who cannot afford the
full cost of supervised visits and would otherwise not be able to
see their children. |
