New York Chapter
About the Chapter
Chapter Goals
The New York State Chapter was started in 1995 at a meeting at the New York Society for Ethical Culture in New York City. Our Chapter was formed to give supervised visitation providers an opportunity to meet together in order to learn from each other and share ideas, with the goal of improving the services we offer to children and families. Presently, our chapter is made up of 49 members in 28 agencies.
Our chapter meetings are held bi-monthly. Each Fall we host an annual, all-day conference on topics relevant to service providers in the field of child access.
Membership is available to those institutions and individuals who have a SVN membership in good standing and who are providing services or are interested in the issues surrounding supervised visitation services.

Objectives
Over the last 12 years, we have worked to:
- Provide professional conferences and forums for networking and sharing of information among New York State supervised child access providers
- Provide information and training to supervised child access providers and other professionals involved in providing support to children and parents who are not living together
- Facilitate and expand opportunities for children to have safe and conflict free access to both parents
- Promote public awareness about the importance and need for supervised visitation services, and the role of child access programs in the continuum of services for divorced and separated families with children
- Advocate for adequate funding of supervised visitation services
- Provide other services and information as may be appropriate.
