- Title

- Abstract
Supervised access is typically viewed as a short-term transitional intervention. This study seeks to identify factors that influence clients' long-term use using mixed-method secondary analysis. Several factors distinguish long-term clients, including ongoing legal proceedings, custodial and noncustodial stated reasons for initiating service, the involvement of child protection services, a pending criminal trial, presence of domestic violence reported at intake, and previous clinical assessments. Implications for practice include exploring the unique needs of long-term clients, creating clear court orders for service, making supervised access part of comprehensive parenting plans, and assisting families to transition from supervised services.
