Providence Children's Museum - Families Together


Families Together is an innovative program for court-separated families conducted by Providence Children’s Museum.  Created in collaboration with RI Department of Children, Youth and Families in 1992, Families Together provides permanency planning and therapeutic visitation for children in state care and their families.  Since its inception, Families Together therapists have helped more than 2,000 families move toward permanency.  In 2011, the program served 500 children and parents in 180 families.  Learn more about Families Together.

Families Together is growing!  Thanks to The Nina Foundation, Families Together will add a homelike setting for family healing this winter.  “Nina’s House” will provide a warm, welcoming environment for Families Together staff to conduct some of their therapeutic visits with children, their parents, siblings and extended family.

The Museum is holding a virtual shower to supply Nina’s House for serving families.  Celebrate and support Nina’s House by contributing a gift from the registry.  All donations will benefit children in foster care and their families as they work to strengthen relationships and parenting skills.  Thank you!
