Providence of Arizona, Inc.
Providence of Arizona is licensed by the state of Arizona’s Office of Behavioral Health and our Therapeutic Foster Home Program is licensed by the Arizona Department of Economic Security. Therapeutic Foster Care services are provided in Tucson, Phoenix, Yuma, and Flagstaff, under contracts with Value Options, Cenpatico Behavioral Health, Northern Arizona Regional Behavioral Health Authority, and Community Partnership of Southern Arizona. In Tucson, Providence of Arizona serves as one of the three children’s behavioral health networks in Pima County. Our network of providers offers a full continuum of services, which includes numerous subcontractors and represents a true community effort. In addition to managing the network, our Tucson site offers direct services that include home-based counseling, case management, substance abuse groups, crisis intervention, and Prevention Services. Research has discovered that one of the most effective strategies parents, grandparents, and other primary caregivers have for raising healthy, well-adjusted children is to frequently eat meals together as a family. Some years ago several prevention oriented people in Tucson began to discuss these research findings. Meetings were held, ideas were discussed, and a vision for how this research could become a “practice” in Tucson and Pima County began to emerge. It quickly became evident that the resources, human and material, were available to undertake a new prevention initiative, and “Make Mealtime Family Time” was born. Make Mealtime Family Time (MMFT) encourages families with children, including teenagers, to make family mealtime a priority whether at home or eating out. Shared family mealtimes give kids an edge in school; reduce their chances of using alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs like marijuana; improve family communication and relationships; help parents know what’s going on in their kids’ world; create fond, lasting memories; and help kids feel needed, knowing they are a valued part of their family. Currently we are providing MMFT products and support to 31,000 elementary students in sixty-five elementary schools across eight school districts in Tucson and Pima County. Providence of Arizona also provides a comprehensive array of community based services in Yuma, La Paz, Gila, and Pinal counties through a contract with Cenpatico Behavioral Health of Arizona. Our Parker and Yuma sites offer: home-based counseling, school-based services, case management, Seven Challenges substance abuse group services, and crisis intervention. Our Phoenix site offers direct services that include home-based counseling, case management, crisis intervention, and Seven Challenges substance abuse groups in Pinal and Gila counties. In Southern Arizona, a web-based Parent and Training Information service called Pilot Parents has been created. Our parents and staff can use Pilot Parents as a support for educational issues. The site offers Partners in Policymaking Training to parents and Providence has worked with parents who have already benefited from this resource. The site also provides a parent support line, new parent support, sibling to sibling support, grandparent support and a lending library of parenting resources. Providence of Arizona is committed to high quality care that is responsive to the needs of our clients. As we continue to work with children and families all staff will be part of an evolving and growing network of professionals working to help children and families realize their true potential. A to Z In-Home Tutoring (“A to Z”) offers tailored tutoring in the school and community. Individualized programs are tailored to the unique needs of each child through an innovative pre-testing system. Students quickly become eager learners and are willing to try harder in subject areas that have become a source of frustration. A to Z was founded in Nashville, TN and hires local certified teachers and Associate’s degreed professionals throughout the United States to work with local kids. A to Z’s corporate offices are located in Brentwood, TN.
