Child & Family

At Child & Family, we hold two core beliefs: that individuals and communities thrive when supported by strong families and that a community works best when it accepts responsibility for all of its members. These beliefs influence everything we do and have guided our growth since we first opened our doors as an orphanage in 1866. Today, with state-of-the-art community centers in Middletown and Providence, Child & Family is one of the largest and most comprehensive social service providers in Rhode Island. As the cornerstone of compassionate care for this area, we collaborate with other agencies and non-profit organizations to offer a continuum of services to people of all ages. Our ties to the communities we serve are paramount to our future success. Child & Family's programs and services have a positive impact on children, teens, families and elders, most of which is made possible through the generous support of our community and patrons.
