Supervised visitation and safe exchange services requires great skill, compassion, and an ongoing commitment to reflection and growth. As you navigate the complexities of working with families experiencing harm and abuse, it is essential to pause, reflect, and hold space for your healing and growth. We offer this journal as a form of personal and professional care and a way to sustain your essential work of keeping adult and child survivors safe while building professional resilience and preventing burnout.

You work every day to keep parents and children safe, and we know this work can be inspiring, hopeful, fun, overwhelming, hard, and stressful all at once. Inspire Action for Social Change offers this journal as a tool to enhance your practice, support families in accessing supervised visitation, and provide you with resources to support you in this work. Self-reflection and exploring our identity in relation to this challenging work can help us build professional resilience and prevent burnout.

Our hope is that you will engage with this journal as a means of personal and professional care, and as a way to help you navigate the complexities of the supervised visitation world.
