Overview

Mission

Children's safety centers mission is to provide a safe haven for children and adults during parental visitation. Csc supports this mission by giving children the opportunity to develop a positive and healthy relationship with their parents through our many service options.

What it reported doing in 2011

Csc is proud to be the premier supervised visitation provider in Minnesota. Csc is unique as a visitation provider in the fact that since its inception, supervised visitation and safe exchange services have been our sole area of service, thereby positioning us to perfect, enhance and evaluate our programs to ensure the highest quality family visitation services. We do this through a continuum of visitation services designed to meet clients' needs for safety and supervision at the point they enter our program up to the possibility of unsupervised visitations and custody. Through this continuum, we don't force clients into a one-size-fits-all mold, but instead provide the most thoughtful and least restrictive visitation environment necessary given the ever-changing needs of each family. Families are supervised by a highly qualified team of professionals with unparalleled training and continuing education specifically designed for this service area yet incorporation information on issues confronting the clients.
