RENU provides therapeutic and supportive visitation for parents with children up to 18 who are in placement through the Division of Child Protection and Permanency (DCPP). The visitation is in the presence of a mental health professional or specially trained professional who is actively involved in supporting attachment and behavior change in the parent-child relationship.
Services include general, structured, and therapeutic supervision, including hands-on parenting education and both in-community and in-home visitation. The program offers a van driver to pick up and drop off children at a designated site or the parent’s home. Through the program, families receive support with meal planning, budgeting, discipline, and constructive play activities.
