We’re In The Business of Changing Lives

All group days and times are confidential and can only be discussed with active CIES clients. This information will be given to our clients during the time of their assessment completion.

Anger Management

Anger is not to be confused with domestic violence. Domestic violence has other components which can lead to physical and verbal abuse.

Anger Management classes are ordered by the courts for any number of reasons that would be considered mandatory classes. Probation may also be ordered as a component of a plea bargain or for minor law violations.

Our structured program is led by a qualified instructor, and offered in a group setting that offers a chance for participants to learn alternative avenues to deal with their anger in a non-violent and non-aggressive manner.

Objectives

  • Discover alternative ways to manage anger
  • Learn stress release alternatives
  • Creating better communication skills

Supervised Visitation / Safe Exchange Program

Supervised visitation allows parents in high conflict or high risk situations access to their children in a safe and supervised environment.

The non-custodial parent has access to the child only when supervised by qualified and professional adults. This also includes cases where there may be a protective order put in place. Click here to read our Updated Supervised Visitation Guidelines.

We also offer family activities that may include horseback riding, swimming, and cultural activities around the community.

Fees

We try to keep our costs low so that families are able to enjoy being together. With that being said, we will try to work with any family’s budget so that they can enjoy time with their kids.

  • Assessment Fee: $50

Cost for Visits:

  • $45 / hour Monday through Friday
  • $55 / hour for weekend visits Saturday
  • $65/ hour after 1pm on Sunday
  • All off site visits are 100.00 plus hourly and admission cost if any to that facility.
  • Visits are available 7 days/week. Contact CIES for details.

*Times involving our therapist will require special times and days.

We do our best to work around both the guardian and the visiting parents’ schedules for the child(ren) sake. We are flexible with our schedule if there is a unique situation.

Off-Site Visits

Any off-site visits have to be approved two weeks prior. There is an additional cost depending on how far staff has to travel. If there is a need to request a home visit at the guardian’s home, we must have written permission from the court or the legal guardian. There is an additional fee for any home visits.

We have partnered with the following locations to ensure the safety of your child or children. Depending on the circumstances, we can go to any of the areas listed. If the visiting parent wants to go elsewhere, prior approval is required.

  • Children’s Museum
  • Carmike Cinema, Hanes Mall Blvd
  • The Grand Theater, University Parkway
  • Kaleideum North Museum, Hanes Mill Road
  • Bounce, North Point Blvd

We do our best to work around both the guardian and the visiting parents’ schedules for the child(ren) sake. We are flexible with our schedule if there is a unique situation.

Amenities

We have three large rooms, exclusively for supervised visitation. We have snack and drink machines, an infant changing table, access to TV, movies, games, and art activities. We also have an area outside our office that we use as a picnic area. If there is a special toy, Wii game, or PlayStation game, you are welcome to bring it.

Security

We have cameras inside our building and inside our rooms. They also have voice recording capability and can be used at our discretion. We have the added measure of being inside the WSPD community service building and can alert them if any concerns arise. At times, we ask a plain clothes officer to be present at on and off-site visits. Our staff is CPR trained and certified.

Observation

In addition to safety, we keep notes on how the child(ren) is engaging with the visiting parent or guardian.

Additional Types of Supervision

Some cases require a child(ren) to have a therapist to help gauge the visit. If that is needed, please let us know so that we can request our Child Trauma Therapist.

Supervised Exchange (Safe Exchange Program)

Supervision of the child(ren) transferring from one parent to the other is limited to the actual transfer with the remainder of the visit being unsupervised, may be required. It works similar to our Supervised Visit program, with the main goal being safe interaction with the child(ren).

The process will work the same. You will be asked a number of questions to determine schedule availability. A short intake questionnaire will be given to help our staff set up the most positive and nurturing way to safely make the exchange with the child(ren). We will coordinate with the custodial parent and the Supervised Visit Specialist to find a time that works for everyone.

The exchange takes place at our office: 1225 East 5th Street, Winston-Salem NC 27101. Video cameras are located inside and outside of the building, and we have immediate access to the Winston-Salem Police Department. All safe exchanges must be completed during available office hours, and cannot be amended to reflect hours we are not in operation. 

Cost for the Exchange Program: Monthly fee $50

Days & Times for the Exchange program

  • Monday, Wednesday & Friday: 9 a.m. – 3 p.m.
  • Tuesday & Thursday: 9 a.m. – 7 p.m.
  • Saturday: 9 a.m. – 3 p.m.
  • Sunday: Subject to availability

CIES has the right to refuse and / or terminate visitation or exchange at any time. CIES will not accept a case if reasonable safety for all family and staff members cannot be ensured. If families do not comply with stated terms and conditions, CIES reserves the right to terminate services.
