Providing Community Care

Providence Kids First

The Kids First Program from Providence provides in-school therapy and behavioral health services to students, including family collaborations. As a state-licensed Comprehensive School and Community Treatment (CSCT) program, Providence partners with the Belgrade School District to place Kids First teams in each school.

The Kids First program works with students who struggle with past trauma, emotional regulation, and peer and relationship challenges, and everyday behaviors that make it difficult to focus on school. Therapists and behavior specialists help students understand and express emotions while learning new skills to help them perform their best academically. Kids First students also learn social skills that help develop strong, meaningful friendships that contribute to an overall sense of well-being and improved self-image.
