Freshwaters Contact Centre

In association with the Christian Church in Harlow

Freshwaters Contact Centre helps to re-build relationships between parents and children who have been separated due to a family breakdown.  It provides a warms friendly neutral environment where the absent parent can visit, talk & play with their child/children, where there is, unfortunately, no viable alternative.

Aims

• To alleviate hardship and distress of children after marriage breakdown
• To preserve and protect mental and physical health of children by providing a facility where they can enjoy the company and love of their non resident parent
• To provide a relatively short term solution to help contact establish and for trust to be built/rebuilt

Supported Contact

We offer SUPPORTED contact which is defined as:-

• low vigilance
• several families at a time in the rooms
• volunteers and staff keep a watchful eye (at least one volunteer in each room and one at        the door)
• conversations are not monitored
• as a general rule no reports are made except dates of attendance
