It's Supervised Visitation Awareness Month!

During Supervised Visitation Month, we recognize the vital role supervised visitation plays in helping children maintain safe, healthy connections with family members during difficult transitions.

Supervised visitation services provide a child-focused environment where safety, healing, and emotional well-being come first. These programs help support families while ensuring children have the opportunity to build and maintain relationships in a secure setting.
We are grateful for the professionals, advocates, and providers who work every day to protect children and strengthen families with compassion, patience, and care. Every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and heard.

Reach out to Abby Chester at the Garden with questions on our program by calling 740-779-7431 or email at [email protected]

It’s impossible for parents and caregivers to see everything all at once. Keep an eye on all your surroundings and if you see something that sets off alarm bells, it’s always better to say something.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and today is Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day. Sometimes a simple conversation is all it takes for a child to open up. These talks can be difficult, but they matter. Check in with your child often and remind them that their mental health is important.

As Child Abuse Prevention Month comes to a close, we pause to reflect—but not to stop the work.

Throughout April, our community showed up in powerful ways: raising awareness, supporting families, and standing up for children who deserve to feel safe, seen, and heard. Every conversation, every shared post, every act of kindness matters more than you know.

At The Garden Family Advocacy Center , this mission doesn’t end with the calendar month. Prevention happens every day—through education, advocacy, and the unwavering belief that every child deserves a safe and healthy future.

Thank you for standing with us. Let’s keep the momentum going—because protecting children is a responsibility we all share. 💙
