Pediatric Psychiatry

Providence Psychiatric Center for Children and Adolescents (PCCA)

The Psychiatric Center for Children and Adolescents (PCCA) provides short-term interventions to help kids, age 12-18, get back on track after a mental health emergency. Patients are referred to PCCA through the Emergency Department (ED). Once admitted, patients receive 24/7 care while their treatment team works on three primary treatment goals: stabilization of the mental health crisis, assessment of the patient’s mental health and referral to appropriate services for ongoing care. 

PCCA helps patients achieve stabilization, assessment and referral by offering interventions from a multidisciplinary approach. Interventions vary depending on each patient’s needs and can include medication management, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)-informed skills groups, observation by and interaction with nurses and mental health counselors (MHC’s) to ensure a safe environment, psychological assessment, behavioral assessment, medical assessment and treatment for any acute medical problems, family therapy, safety planning, advocacy to assist with the initiation of 504/IEP assessments at school and social work to assist with referrals for ongoing care. PCCA collaborates with families and outpatient therapists to help the patients have a smooth transition back home when they are ready for discharge.

Providence RISE Program

Every person is an expert on their own life. Recovery involves working in partnership to provide support in a way that makes sense to that person. Our goal is to help program participants build on their strengths and increase their resilience, while learning skills to be successful and thrive in the community.

RISE is a behavioral health intensive outpatient program for adolescents and adults. The day-treatment program is designed for people dealing with a variety of mental health concerns who are at risk for inpatient hospitalization or are being discharged from inpatient care, as well as those seeking more intensive services than are provided in the traditional outpatient setting. The primary diagnoses that are treated by the RISE Program are depressive disorders and anxiety disorders. RISE has an adolescent program that serves adolescents ages 13-17, and an adult program that services individuals 18 or older.

RISE teaches skills designed to address a variety of concerns, including:

  • Goal Setting
  • Mindfulness
  • Distress Tolerance
  • Emotion Regulation
  • Interpersonal Effectiveness
  • Self-care
  • Safety Planning
  • Symptom Management
  • Relapse Prevention

After completing the program, participants will:

  • Have a recovery action plan that will aid them in managing their symptoms more effectively
  • Recognize the onset of symptoms and early warning signs
  • Know how to develop and maintain a support system
  • Develop healthy and effective coping skills
  • Know how to deal with a crisis or safety issue

Individuals may be referred through emergency departments, community behavioral health providers and schools. Individuals may also self-refer.
