Bethanna’s Visitation Program is a specialized program which provides goal directed, supported visitation to families in the child welfare system. The program offers a chance for parents to maintain and strengthen family bonding, develop care giving skills, gain knowledge, overcome parenting challenges, be mentored, be empowered, access community support, and heal fractured relationships through consistent, goal directed visitation. It currently supports families in Montgomery, Bucks, and Lancaster County and Youth Social Services Agencies. The program provides flexible visiting hours and times, to accommodate school and work schedules. Community visits, office visits and in home visits are offered. Sibling visitation is also offered for siblings who are in various placement settings, in order to maintain their family connections.
