our intake process
Beginning with care, clarity and a child-focused foundation
Starting supervised contact can feel like stepping into the unknown. The intake process is where we slow everything down.
At Holding Hands, intake is not just a formality. It is the foundation of safe, supported, child-focused contact.
Before any visits begin, we take time to understand your child, your family history, and the context that has brought you here. This allows us to make thoughtful decisions about safety, communication, locations and support.
supporting you along the way
Our blog, podcast and resources are designed to help parents understand the process before they step into it.
Below, you’ll find a collection of articles and episodes that walk through:
-

-

Everything we do begins here — with careful listening, calm structure, and a commitment to keeping children at the centre.
