Hello!
My name is Rachel Williams and I will be your new Supervised
Visitation Monitor, serving San Bernardino County. I have a Masters Degree in Social Work and I am registered with the
Board of Behavioral Science
as an Associate Social Worker. Along with being in compliance
with Uniforms Standards of Practice for Providers of Supervised Visitation, Standard 5.20, I am also Trustline Registered with Department of Social Services and background finger print approved with Department of Justice.
What is Supervised Visitation?
Supervised Visitation allows parents in high conflict or high risk situations access to their child(ren) in a monitored and safe environment. The visiting parent has access to the child only when supervised by a neutral third person. Supervised Visitation is also used to protect children from potentially dangerous situations while allowing parental access and providing support for the parent/child relationship.
What is the Intake process?
The intake process must be completed by both parents before a visitation can be scheduled. An Intake interview is scheduled where each parent and monitor will meet and discuss the case in detail, go over all completed paperwork, fees, guidelines, and schedule an upcoming visitation schedule for the parents, following the court order. Intake interviews are conducted with BOTH parents separately and should take 25-35 minutes to complete.
