Empowering Family Connections

Who we are.
Welcome to Parenting Plus, where we understand the complexities of co-parenting after separation.
Our mission is to facilitate a smooth transition for children, ensuring they maintain meaningful relationships with both parents in a secure and supportive environment.​
Our goal is to foster constructive contact and alleviate any stress for the child, promoting a positive and nurturing experience during each visit or exchange. Trust Parenting Plus to prioritize your child's well-being and support your family's needs during this transitional period.
Monitored Visitation
We offer monitored visits to ensure children can spend time with the non-custodial parent or relatives in a neutral setting, free from conflict and stress. Our monitors meticulously document each visit, focusing on objective observations to maintain a neutral record, which is then securely stored and accessible to authorized parties.
Monitored Exchanges
Our services extend to monitored exchanges, providing a seamless handover of children between caregivers, minimizing any potential tension. The documentation process during exchanges is equally thorough, ensuring a clear and factual account of the event.
Comprehensive Support
Parenting Plus addresses a spectrum of concerns, from safety issues to substance abuse, mental health challenges, risks of abduction, and the emotional impact of prolonged separation. Our monitors are trained to observe and record precise details without making assessments or suggesting opinions, always ensuring a neutral stance.
What we do.
We offer monitored visits, exchanges and offer third-party communication between parents.
Our aim is to make sure you can spend quality time with your children without limitations by providing a stress-free experience in a secure and relaxed setting, to preserve and strengthen family bonds while promoting positive parenting practices.
Monitored Parenting Time
Full & Partial
Your parenting time will take place in neutral locations, which may include in-home settings and/or community spaces, with a Parenting Plus monitor monitoring throughout the full duration of time or periodically checking in throughout the visit.​
Monitored Exchanges
Parenting Plus facilitates exchanges in which parents do not interact with each other and adhere to a mutually agreed parenting schedule. The service is designed to ensure quick and punctual exchanges, reflecting our core belief that the needs of the child(ren) take precedence during periods of parental disagreement.

This eliminates the need for personal intermediaries, offering professional support for your family's unique needs.
