Supervised Visitation Program
Supervised Visitation
Program
KBYH
Our Supervised Visitation Program provides a safe, comfortable space for families to visit and work towards permanency and reunification. We believe that visitations are vital to maintaining family relationships and fundamental to helping children maintain their cultural connections. Kern Bridges offers supervised visitation in southwest Bakersfield, downtown Bakersfield, and Ridgecrest.
The primary goals of the SVP are:
- Increase the number of children and families who reunify by regularly visiting with the children
- Increase the number of families that can progress to unsupervised visits within a reasonable amount of time while assuring the safety and wellbeing of the children
- Reduce the length of time to safely reunify
- Reduce the number of children who re-enter foster care
- Maintain children’s familial relationships to strengthen meaningful connections with caring adults
