Providence Place is a residential treatment program for women coming out of prison and their children, though having children is not required to become a resident.
The long-term treatment program lasts from 12 to 15 months. The program operates as a Therapeutic Community which employs the “each one teach one” concept.
All residents can participate in a variety of classes, including anger management, relapse prevention, cognitive behavioral therapy, domestic violence, and grief and loss.
Most women participate in an on-site employment program. They attend classes for 12 weeks in order to learn how to prepare resumes, interview, and conduct job searches.
