Not every family needs the same kind of parenting time support. Some children may need shorter visits at first, especially when contact has been limited, strained, or difficult.

Not every family needs the same kind of parenting time support. Some children may need shorter visits at first, especially when contact has been limited, strained, or difficult.
Some families need parenting time in the home, at an access centre, or in the community, such as a park, playground, library, or other child-friendly setting. Others may need extended or overnight support when appropriate.
Renew also supports supervised exchanges when the handoff itself has become part of the concern. Our team helps manage timing, arrivals, departures, communication boundaries, and documentation, so the transition is easier for the child and less likely to become another point of conflict.

Some families benefit from having parenting time or exchanges take place in a private, dedicated space rather than in the home, school, or community.

Some families benefit from having parenting time or exchanges take place in a private, dedicated space rather than in the home, school, or community.
Renew’s Ottawa Access Centre gives families a comfortable setting where children and parents can spend time together, play games, read, share a meal, work on homework, watch a movie, or simply have family time without the distractions of a public setting.
The Access Centre can also support families when visits need more structure around arrivals, departures, documentation, or parent-to-parent contact. Our team works with the court order, agreement, and the needs of the child so the space fits the purpose of the visit, not the other way around.
Family-Focused Support Beyond the Visit

Family-Focused Support Beyond the Visit

Parenting time does not happen in isolation. Families may be attending visits while still managing court stress, difficult communication, school concerns, child behaviour, parent anxiety, or questions about what should happen next. Renew pays attention to the patterns around parenting time, not only what happens during the scheduled visit.
When more support is needed, families can access connected services within the broader Renew team, including parenting programs, child, youth, and family counselling, and emotional regulation support. This wrap-around approach helps keep the focus on the child, the parent-child relationship, and the family situation surrounding parenting time.
