Our Crisis Nursery Approach
Learn about our two-generation approach delivered through a
holistic, integrated program.
While children stay in our Crisis Nursery, we empower parents to be safe, stable caregivers for their families in our Family Center.
A growing body of data shows crisis nursery programs are a vital service in meeting the needs of families and children in crisis.

Community Education and Resiliency Program
Community Education and Resiliency Program
Our Community Education and Resiliency Program extends our family preservation programming to parents/guardians in the local community to help them think proactively about their families.
In April 2019, Providence House began expanding the reach of our successful family preservation services to help families in the community before a serious crisis occurs.
Overview
Our Community Education and Resiliency Program brings our case management, parent education, and trauma services to families in the community through many child-serving partner organizations. This prevention-based service allows Providence House to connect with families without having to utilize the crisis nursery program for their children. Programming in advance of a crisis allows participants in this program to think proactively about their family, identify any unmet needs, build upon their strengths, and build social connections with others.
