You don’t have to figure it out alone.
We partner with parents and caregivers—through 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.
Parent Support Network’s team of Family Support Partners have knowledge and experience with early childhood, schools and special education, behavioral health centers, child welfare, and the juvenile justice system.
We are here to provide emotional support and help you navigate and access the services and resources you need. You don’t have to figure it out alone.
-
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.
-
✊ Partner with us to help transform child welfare and behavioral health systems of care in Rhode Island.
Your lived experience matters. If you’ve navigated mental health, substance use, or DCYF systems for yourself or a loved one, you bring powerful insight that can help reshape policies and improve care across Rhode Island. When families and youth speak up together, decision-makers listen.
Prevention isn’t just about avoiding harm, it’s about creating opportunities for families to thrive.
What does it take to build a strong family?

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.”
