Family Visitation Services is a program run by Visinet, Inc. that provides a safe way for children and parents to have court order supervised visits. Supervised Visitation Specialists, hired by the program, observe and report the interaction between children and the adult they are visiting (i.e., their parents/caretakers/ grandparents, etc.) to the Nebraska Health and Human Services (NHHS) — Protection and Safety/Integrated Care Coordination Unit (ICCU) case manager. All relevant interaction that takes place between family members is documented and reported. Supervised Visitation Specialists will not provide educational assistance during these sessions, unless there is an identifiable safety concern. Supervised Visitation Specialists will complete two full sessions to observe and document the interventions that are necessary for the family to function, and will not terminate a visit unless a child’s safety is at risk. A service assessment will be completed after the two sessions to determine the most appropriate service for the family. If the agency determines that family support is necessary, the program coordinator will contact the case manager and request family support referral and authorization.
