Healing for Families

Children are at the heart of GAP, however, if we continually care for abused or neglected children and never help their families, it becomes a never-ending cycle. When we begin to heal these families we can change the direction of their lives and impact them for generations to come.

GAP Ministries has been able to more effectively impact the foster care system and help with the goal of reunifying healthy families. The Department of Child Safety of Arizona has partnered with us to provide Visit Supervision between the children and their birth parents. It is our desire that as parents are learning new methods while also getting the help they need, they can ultimately become successful in raising their children and stopping the cycle at the root.

Families working toward reunification after their children are placed in foster care, attend court-ordered supervised visits at GAP’s Family Center. These visits, which last 4-6 hours per week depending on the case, provide an essential opportunity for children and parents to reconnect and maintain their bond during the challenging process of reunification.

GAP strives to create a warm, safe, and comfortable environment for children, with rooms furnished with living room furniture, toys, and games to help them feel cared for. The staff, including well-trained visit supervisors, are deeply committed to both the children and their biological families.
