Welcome
Joyful Connections is a
Supervised Exchange and Visitation Center
for children and their parents. 
It is located at
8200 West State Route 163,
Oak Harbor, in Ottawa County, Ohio
and is a non-profit and publicly supported organization.
Joyful Connections provides a healthy, safe and homelike environment where children can interact with family members in a non-judgmental setting.
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? - Every year, thousands of children enter the court system for various reasons; and, as a result, many of these children are seperated from one or both parents. Supervised parent-child visitations are critical to the process of bringing parents and their children back together.
The need for supervised visitations or exchanges may be due to issues related to divorce or seperation, domestic violence, protection orders, threats of child abuse, or safety concerns where a neutral setting would increase a familiy's level of comfort and safety.
