The Whistle Stop offers a number of services to meet the various needs of the clients and courts we serve, including:
- "Observational Supervision" - on site visitation conducted by trained staff and volunteers.
- "Interactive Supervision" (a.k.a. Therapeutically Supervised Visitation) - sessions that combine supervised visitation with active feedback from a licensed mental health professional with advanced degrees and training. Therapeutic Visitation is not therapy, but uses many of the same techniques to help improve parent child interactions.
- Supervised exchanges - exchanges of children without parental contact. Independent confirmation of the time of the exchange and circumstances of the exchange are provided by Whistle Stop staff.
We also have cooperative relationships with a number of providers that have experience in working with families in difficult transitions. We offer referrals to these and various other programs when requested.

* The Whistle Stop receives funds from grant resources
and private donors to supplement visitation fees. The
amount of subsidy available depends on the income of the
paying party and the availability of funds. Parents should
always inquire about a fee subsidy. |
Unless specific fee arrangements are noted in the court order, each party will be responsible for half of all fees. Sliding Fee Scale is used to calculate fees. (contact our office for more details).
