Referred only from Department of Social Services and the Family Courts of Fond du Lac County, we offer supervised visitation in a safe and neutral setting for families whose children are currently placed in out-of-home care. Additionally, the Family Resource Center also holds respite care for foster children and court-order classes for children going through separation and divorce.
