If you plan on providing Supervised Visitation, make sure you check state and local laws and that you meet the minimum requirements before taking the training. For example, some states require that you are of a certain age or that you have never been subject to an order for Supervised Visitation yourself.
Additionally, some states allow for Therapeutic Visitation and others do not. Due diligence is key!
