The Ministry of Alberta Children and Youth Services offers a range of programs and services for children and families. We support families and communities, helping them to provide nurturing, safe environments for their children. We strive to break the cycles of family violence, abuse and poverty that prevent some children from becoming strong, sound individuals.

Safe Visitation Initiative for Children involved in high-risk family violence sitations
The Alberta Government’s Safe Visitation Initiative helps protect children and families in situations where there is a high risk of family violence between parents. Safe visitation provides an opportunity for children to visit with non-custodial parents in a safe and secure environment. Safe visitation services are provided by trained staff to help ensure children have a positive experience visiting with their parent.
