In the state of Kentucky, the Providence Service Corporation offers services through our wholly owned subsidiaries, Drawbridges Counseling Services (Drawbridges”), Oasis Comprehensive Foster Care (“Oasis”), and A to Z In-Home Tutoring. Drawbridges was founded in 1990. This part time practice grew over the years to become a group practice with eighteen associates serving eight counties throughout Kentucky. Oasis was founded in 2002. A part of the Providence network of providers since 2005, these two agencies offer In-home Counseling through Impact Plus and Therapeutic Foster Care for the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) and the Department of Community Based Services (DCBS).

Oasis is licensed as a Child Placement Agency by the Inspector General’s office of the Commonwealth of Kentucky and has secured contracts with both DJJ and DCBS. Youth referred from the DJJ are either committed to that department or in a program known as “Alternative to Detention”. Kentucky is committed to providing the best and least restrictive care, as well as the most preventative care for legally involved teens. Children placed in therapeutic foster care are given a chance to receive treatment in a secure home atmosphere rather than being placed in the detention centers. The highly trained and fully credentialed professionals of Oasis are able to provide services to the highest risk children, who would otherwise be in residential care or hospitalized.

Our foster parents are given extensive training in taking care of children whose lives have been traumatized by abuse and neglect. Foster parents also enjoy support through monthly socialization meetings and the new Foster Teen Club, which meets on the same night as the continuing education for the parents.

Drawbridges has a mission to bring the excellence associated with Providence Service Corporation into all areas of the state of Kentucky and will soon be securing training in the Seven Challenges offer substance abuse treatment model for DJJ children.

A to Z In-Home Tutoring (“A to Z”) offers tailored one-on-one tutoring in the comfort and convenience of the client’s home. Our programs eliminate the visibility and potential embarrassment of the traditional classroom and replace it with confidence through private, focused tutoring and mentoring. 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.
