Acadiana Visitation and Exchange Center provides a safe and secure place for children to visit with non-custodial parents in a safe manner. A.V.E.C. provides a safe, child friendly environment for visits to occur. Parents use separate entrances to the center and staggered arrival and departure times. All visits are supervised by volunteer monitors that undergo training.
Security is on-site at all times during visitation hours.
The program cannot exist without volunteer monitors. If you would like to help a child visit with a parent, please call (337) 277-0160 or email the application to [email protected].
A.V.E.C. is in need of volunteer monitors for supervised visitation. Visits are held on Sundays between 10:45 and 3:30.

We further the community’s understanding of the agencies we serve, the services they provide and the needs of the communities receiving these services. Through a variety of fund development activities and through the donation of goods and services, we help meet the needs of others referred by State Agency partners, including the Office of Behavioral Health, Acadiana Area Human Services District and Department of Children and Family Services.
