When a child is experiencing a crisis, it is critical to respond to the situation immediately. The Providence Center (TPC) offers a response whether at home, in school or in the community. The Providence Center also offers specialized emergency services for children and teens 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
A Providence Center clinician will respond to the crisis within hours of a call, during business hours, 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m., to evaluate the child and recommend options for treatment. The Providence Center’s 24/7 Emergency Services line,
(401) 274-7111, will connect you with a clinician to assist with immediate treatment recommendations outside of business hours, including in person availability exclusive to the City of Providence.
Post-evaluation, a case manager, as a part of the Children’s Emergency Services team, will be able to coordinate and assist with any barriers to ongoing treatment recommendations, or contributing factors that may result in repeat crisis.
Of note, The Providence Center is able to assist, regardless of status of insurance, ability to pay and status of involvement with TPC. The child does not have to be a client of TPC to receive emergency services.
