Every Child Deserves a Safe Connection

What Works? is a two-day, unscripted, participant-driven learning experience built on the belief that the best ideas already exist in the room. Designed for connection, collaboration, and real-world problem solving, this interactive experience brings providers together to learn from one another, share strategies, and strengthen supervised visitation practice—together. You’ll also have access to a dedicated space for attendees to connect before and after the event—making it easier to network, continue conversations, and keep the work going long after Nashville. Rather than scripted presentations, What Works? centers on open dialogue, shared challenges, and peer-to-peer exchange. Participants will connect with colleagues from across the field, explore different approaches, and build relationships that extend well beyond the event.

Custody Exchanges at Police Stations: Are they Safe? The idea sounds reasonable. If I want to insure that my child and I are safe when exchanging my child, surely I will be safe at the Police Station doing this, right? Local Police Stations have even been announcing established safe exchange zones, which are clearly marked areas in the parking lot of a well-lit police station, or even in the lobby of the police station, for people to meet and sell their craigslist or online purchased goods with less fear of a quick or violent rip-off. The problem is that these announcements have been increasingly mentioning that these typically un-staffed and un monitored, other than by camera, zones can also be used for child custody exchanges.
