You don’t have to figure it out alone.
We partner with parents and caregivers—through lived experience, peer support, and prevention-focused resources—to strengthen family well-being and support behavioral health.
How We Help Support Your Family
-
We partner with parents and caregivers, provide free peer support services and connect you to statewide resources to help strengthen your family. You don’t have to face behavioral health challenges (mental health or substance use), navigating the child welfare system, or your child’s education needs alone.
-
Circle of Parents groups provide a friendly, supportive environment facilitated by trained facilitators, but led by parents and other caregivers. It’s a place where anyone in a parenting role can openly discuss the successes and challenges of raising children. It’s a place where you can find and share support.
-
We offer an evidence-based Nurturing Parenting course with a 12-week curriculum of trauma-informed education and parenting skills support that helps you break unhealthy cycles and learn how to strengthen your family.
Currently only available by DCYF referral but soon to be Medicare reimbursable.
Prevention isn’t just about avoiding harm, it’s about creating opportunities for families to thrive.

What Families Are Saying
“The support I have received through PSN and the Fatherhood Support Group helped me stabilize during a critical time of stress and change for my children.”
— Rhode Island Father“I’m dealing with DCYF family court for about 2 years now and they have supported me in every appointment / court date dealing with DCYF. I don’t think my case would have advanced the way it did if it wasn’t for PSN’s help.”
— Rhode Island Mother“It’s lifted me up in so many ways. I feel like it’s given me a place in the world. Honestly, it’s the best program for parents that I’ve ever been a part of.”
