In Florida, Providence offers services through its wholly owned subsidiary, Family Preservation Services of Florida, Inc. (“FPS of Florida”)

Family Preservation Services of Florida, Inc. began providing services in 1998 and today offers a range of home- and community-based services. The mission of FPS of Florida is to collaborate with and support community agencies in their efforts to reduce out of home placement, strengthen families and provide youth opportunities to develop skills, enabling them to become productive, contributing members of their communities.

FPS of Florida is a Medicaid provider and a licensed Child Placing Agency, and is accredited by the Council on Accreditation (COA). Programs in Florida include Therapeutic Foster Care, In-home services, targeted Case Management, psychiatric services and outpatient therapy. FPS of Florida participates in local privatization efforts as a Case Management organization in four districts providing child welfare services.

FPS of Florida also offers an innovative adolescent substance abuse program called the Seven Challenges©. This science-based program targets adolescents between the ages of 12-17 who are at risk for substance abuse indicated by poor school attendance and achievement, school dropout, association with anti-social and gang related peers, legal involvement and/or conduct disorder. The program may be home-based and includes school based activities. The overall service objective of the program is to prevent substance use and provide early intervention services to those adolescents who may be experimenting with alcohol and/or drugs.

FPS of Florida is dedicated to offering innovative and effective community services to assist in the support and preservation of families and all of our services seek to meet this goal.
