May is Supervised Visitation Month- Please wear a ribbon in Support

The orange ribbon is a symbol of supervised visitation.  When parents separate, visits or exchanges can be difficult for the whole family. Problems sometimes arise between parents or other family members at the time children are exchanged.  At other times, there may be concern about the visits themselves. The Supervised Access Program offers families a way to cope with some of these problems.  The Supervised Access Program provides a safe, child-focused, neutral setting where visits or exchanges can take place.

What color signifies safety better than orange?  Orange is a bright color used to warn people to watch out and take notice.  We want everyone to see the orange ribbon and take notice of children and families in need of this service.  The purpose of the campaign is to use the symbol of the orange ribbon throughout the month of May to raise awareness about the need and impact of supervised visitation.

Help us spread the word throughout our community, wear your orange ribbon throughout the month of May. You can pick up your orange ribbon @ the Family and Children's Services office @ 240 First Street East, Suite 200 in Fort Frances.

There are three locations; Fort Frances, Emo and Atikokan.  For further information about the Supervised Access Program, please contact one of our offices.
