Services We Provide

Changing Tides Family Services offers services including supervised visitation and parenting education for Humboldt County families.

Supervised Visitation Services

Changing Tides Family Services provides a safe, neutral, and child-centered environment for court-ordered supervised visitation between parents and children. Our trained professional monitors carefully oversee each visit to help ensure interactions remain safe, respectful, and supportive. Our monitors are committed to promoting healthy parent-child connections while prioritizing the emotional and physical well-being of the child throughout the visitation process.

If you have been directly referred by Superior Court for supervised visitation services, the non-custodial party must contact our agency to begin the intake process and arrange services.
