Better visits. Faster family reunification

Be a part of their journey

“I just saw there was such a deficit in seeing these families reunify because in the community you cannot see the parenting capabilities”

-Colleen Huff, Founder

Visits in places like McDonald’s or public libraries are far from ideal. They’re often noisy, crowded, and full of distractions. Parents feel judged, kids can’t relax, and there’s constant pressure to buy food or leave quickly. It’s not a place for bonding — it’s survival. Libraries aren’t much better, with strict noise rules and little room to just be a family. These environments add stress to an already fragile situation. Kids need comfort, not chaos, during visits. That’s why having a home-like space matters — it creates dignity, stability, and the freedom to just be together.

At TVH, every moment is designed to strengthen families—providing safe, supportive spaces where parents and children can bond, grow, and heal together. Through a combination of structured visits, hands-on education, and trauma-informed support, families at TVH are experiencing real, lasting change.

“The additional bonding hours have been helpful for the client. She recently started overnight visits with her children, and I’m noticing improvements in their behavior. With more time together, they’re building routines. The girls are so happy to have consistent time as a family each weekend. As of today, mom has been offered a full-time job, which she is extremely excited to start next week. She has been working hard to be in the best place possible for her children’s return. I believe she is very close to reunification and would recommend it sooner rather than later so they can continue building and growing together as a family. I continue to be impressed by how she balances her time and care with each of her children—she cooks regularly, engages in conversations about their personal lives, shows appropriate affection, looks after their safety, and ensures they have fun no matter what the day holds.”

CLIENT FEEDBACK

“ I think it’s a great idea. My kids were able to have a decent meal instead of fast food. They were able to get their naps in and get comfortable.”

“The house is nice and clean. It’s comfortable and safe. There are plenty of toys to play with. I enjoy that it’s like home and I am able to focus on my kid and not have outside distractions interfering with giving all of my attention to the kiddos.”

“I love the house. The only thing that I would add is a love seat or another lounge chair so people can be comfortable while they are sitting and talking.”

“ This visit experience was by far the best. The ability to be in a more home-like setting really allowed my children and I to bond. Being able to color, play outside, and have them together was wonderful. I definitely felt closer to my kids and not so limited. Thank you.”

“I’d rather be here than McDonald’s because it’s more space where my kids can be themselves. It’s more like home. We can stay, play and just be ourselves! Like Home!!!”

“My visit was very comfortable and I believe my little girls was as well. We had fun. Colleen is amazing and made us feel good. Thank you for allowing us to visit here.”

“It was a pleasant moment. My heart is filled with LOVE & JOY to see them!”

“I like the visit home because I am able to spend time with my kids and Colleen has helped me so much. I don’t know what I would do without her.”

“ When Paisley and me visit the home, we have so much fun. It’s always clean and taken care of. It allows us to have normal time together and feel like we are just doing normal stuff. We love our Parent Aide Sarah and the Boss Colleen. They are so wonderful and kind. We miss our Victoria but really enjoyed our time with her.”

“ Me and Mommy have so much fun!”

“It was pleasure to have visits with my nephews and nieces here at the home. Having visits here is more active and more quality time and we can make all the noise we can while having fun.”
