Visitation Centers

Helping Families Stay Connected

New Hours Effective April 13, 2026

Please review the updated schedule for both our Phoenix and Mesa visitation centers below.

When children are removed from their homes, maintaining connection with parents and siblings is critical. Our visitation centers provide safe, welcoming, and home-like spaces where families can spend meaningful time together and begin to rebuild relationships.

A key part of helping Arizona children heal is creating opportunities for connection, comfort, and consistency. Our centers are designed to help families focus on each other in a setting that feels supportive and dignified.

Why Visitation Matters

Supervised visits, often required by the court, help:

• Strengthen family bonds
• Support parents in practicing new skills
• Provide a path toward reunification

Before our centers existed, visits often took place in small, impersonal offices. Today, our spaces are designed to feel safe, comfortable, and nurturing, allowing families to focus on connection, not stress.

Get Involved

Every visit matters. Every moment of connection helps a child heal. Our centers rely on compassionate volunteers who help create safe, meaningful experiences for children and families.

If you are looking for an opportunity to support families in a hands-on and meaningful way, we would love to connect with you.
