At CVP, we protect children and give them a safe haven in which to maintain a relationship with their parents. Central Visitation Program provides exchange and supervised visitation at our facilities on a sliding scale ensuring that all children are able to see their non-custodial parent.
My name is Duane (visiting parent) and I have been a client at Central Visitation Program for the past 3 years. I have found the facility to have great resources and I have gained through their services. This has impacted myself and my family (children) in positive ways. I can only say that it is a true blessing to have access to the serves CVP provides.
On behalf of me and my daughter, we wanted to write to thank you for the time that you devoted to our case and the personal service that you gave. Each of you showed professionalism and concern in a non-biased way. I would definitely recommend your services to friends or relatives, should the need arise.
I wish you all of you well in your future endeavors and will think of you often - Louise (residential parent)
CVP's mission is to enhance relationships between children and parents of low income families by providing supervised visitation, exchanges and parenting support.
CVP believes it is a child's right to have a safe and positive relationship with both of their parents. CVP is committed to providing a child with a safe place in which to bond with a parent and believes it is preferable to simply separating that child from a parent. Children are the most forgiving people in the world, especially of their parents; and a child whose relationship with a parent is abruptly severed feels abandoned and grows up bereft of a sense of attachment. CVP's goal is to unite these children with their parents in a way that is both safe and healthy and allows the child to build, maintain, or renew contact with a non-residential parent. In so doing, CVP seeks to assist children in their long-term development as productive and contributing members of the community.
CVP was established in February 1993 and incorporated in April 1993. The courts said parents could see their children in a supervised setting, but low income families could not afford the associated fees. Children were not seeing their parents as a result. Soon the need of the community was brought to the attention of Central Presbyterian Church. Central Presbyterian Church provided "seed" money to start CVP and continues to provide office space and five visitation rooms in its convenient, downtown building. When visits began on September 20, 1993, CVP operated as a part-time program. In 1995, CVP expanded to a full-time program and extended its hours so more families could be served. Over the years, CVP has continued to grow and meet the demand for supervised parenting time and safe exchanges. Currently, CVP has four office locations in Denver, Brighton, Aurora, and Northglenn. CVP also contracts with the Department of Human Services in several counties including Denver, Broomfield, Weld, Larimer, Douglas, and Boulder.
