“He’s not a problem—he’s a puzzle.”

That’s the first thing we assured her. The anguish in Sara’s eyes was awful to behold. She needed hope real fast. Sara’s two-year-old Aiden had just been expelled from his daycare. He had a whole bunch of worsening “problem” behaviors.

Sara was desperate for help, and turned to The Providence Center for help. Together, the staff at the Early Childhood Institute and Sara developed solutions that would help Aiden succeed.

That solution was possible, in part, thanks to you.

“Aiden is three now and thriving in our new daycare,” said Sara. “Your commitment to The Providence Center gives children like Aiden a chance to succeed.”

The Providence Center is Rhode Island’s busiest community mental health center. We help people solve complex puzzles every day—from childhood behavioral difficulties like Aiden’s to mental illnesses and addiction in adults. And we’re able to do that because of your support.

When you give your tax-deductible donation to support The Providence Center, you help over 12,000 adults, children and families find hope and happiness.
