PACE Safe Visitation Program
The Safe Visitation Program serves families who have existing safety concerns relating to custody and access issues due to previous and/or current family violence. Given that violence often escalates following separation this program helps reduce the risk of future abuse during visits and exchanges by closely monitoring all contact between the visiting parent and the children.
The first step in accessing the program is to contact Youth Child and Family Services (CFSA) and request a referral.
