PURPOSE

The Amending Bonds Program creates a trauma-informed, structured, and compassionate environment where children and parents can reconnect safely during times of family conflict, legal involvement, or separation. Using The A.M.E.N.D.E.D. Framework, we ensure every visit promotes safety, accountability, and healing.

The A.M.E.N.D.E.D. Framework in Amending Bonds

A – Accountability
Parents and caregivers are supported in taking responsibility for their actions, choices, and presence during visits. Staff provide guidance to reinforce consistent, safe, and reliable parenting behaviors.

M – Mentorship
Visitation staff serve as mentors and role models—coaching parents in positive communication, conflict resolution, and nurturing strategies that promote long-term growth.

E – Empowerment
Families are given tools and encouragement to build confidence in their roles, supporting both children and parents in their journey toward stronger, healthier bonds.

N – Nurturing
Visitation sessions prioritize warmth, compassion, and care, allowing children to feel emotionally safe and supported in their parent-child relationships.

D – Development
Parents are encouraged to grow in parenting skills, emotional regulation, and communication. Children’s developmental needs are considered and protected in all interactions.

E – Equity
The program ensures fairness, respect, and dignity for all families, regardless of their background, culture, or current circumstances.

D – Diversion
By creating a safe alternative to conflict-driven or unsafe encounters, the program diverts families away from cycles of harm and toward pathways of stability, healing, and reunification.
