contact visits that put children first
In the early stages of separation, supervised visits can be an important step in keeping children connected. At Holding Hands Family Services, we create safe, community-based visits in everyday places: parks, libraries, or familiar spaces so children can feel a sense of normalcy while life around them is changing.
Every part of our service is designed to reduce conflict and protect children’s experience: separate meeting points, the quiet presence of trained Contact Workers, and clear visit reports.
Because for us, being #alwayschildfocused isn’t a phrase — it’s our practice.

explore our #alwayschildfocused projects
At Holding Hands Family Services, we’ve created a set of #alwayschildfocused projects to support parents and practitioners as they navigate separation and children’s contact.
Whether it’s thoughtful reflections on our blog, practical parenting insights through the book club, behind-the-scenes conversations in the podcast, or simple guides on our kids site, each project is designed to keep the child’s wellbeing at the centre — and to offer you the tools, knowledge, and reassurance you need along the way.

At the heart of Holding Hands is our people.
Guided by Service Manager Jakki Schwartz, our contact workers bring experience from social work, welfare, and child-focused care. Every team member is carefully trained before meeting their first family, and their learning never stops with ongoing workshops and guest speakers from across the family law sector.
