The Providence Center helps adults, adolescents, and children affected by psychiatric illnesses, emotional problems, and addictions by providing treatment and supportive services within a community setting. Since 1969, The Providence Center has made recovery possible for Rhode Islanders through over 60 programs and wraparound services that meet each individual’s unique needs for living healthy.

You can change the life of someone in need and make a family’s life healthy and happier. Your tax-deductible donation helps us to provide the best mental health and substance use care for adults, children, and families in our community.

The Power of Your Gift

When you give to The Providence Center, you become a partner in our work. With your support, we give people the chance to truly rebuild their lives. Your donations are an investment in improving our community’s health. Every gift makes a direct impact on the adults, children and families we serve. Together, we have made a difference.

Helping Children Succeed

It all starts with helping children and families to develop in healthy ways. Our programs provide children with behavioral and emotional problems and their families with the extra support they need to be successful in school or at home.

Building New Programs

New initiatives address the ever-changing health needs of the community like the Emergency Services Program created with a specialized team with the skills and expertise in treating children. This critically needed program provides care free of charge to uninsured and underinsured children, frees up already overcrowded hospital emergency rooms, and is less traumatic for the child. Other specialized programs include the Joyce House for homeless veterans and the Police Diversion program, which has a clinician ride along with police to help provide services to people in crisis.

Making Recovery Possible

People can and do recover from mental health and substance use issues when they are connected to treatment and supports. Job training, access to primary care, a positive, supportive community—the things that make recovery a reality.
