Our Crisis Nursery Approach
Our Crisis Nursery Approach
Since our founding in 1981, Providence House has cared for more than 15,000 children and families in crisis. We deliver a holistic, integrated program focused on keeping kids safe and families together.
Our multi-generational approach centered on both the child and their parents or guardians has been proven to effectively prevent child abuse and neglect and reunite families with greater strength and stability.
Providence House is Greater Cleveland’s only free, voluntary, non-custodial program. We provide emergency shelter, direct care, and medical care and monitoring to at-risk children aged newborn through twelve years old when their parents/guardians are not able to care for them due to crises. Children benefit from the home-like environment provided by our Crisis Nursery.
While children stay in our nurseries, Licensed Social Workers work with parents and guardians through family preservation services to provide support, guidance, and education to address each family’s specific needs. Our community-based support services extend this programming beyond our campus, allowing families in partner organizations to build safety nets and preventative solutions before the need for our nurseries arises.
Our unique program is a comprehensive service based on more than 40 years of experience, the latest research in our industry, and proven evidence-based programs and practices that can help prevent child abuse and neglect, reduce foster care placements, and strengthen families.
