The tension and unrest in Ferguson in the aftermath of the shooting of Michael Brown, an 18-year old unarmed youth by a Ferguson police officer, demands attention in order to stabilize the situation. Anger and frustration are running high and community members need the opportunity to express their feelings and concerns. Provident offers counseling services to individuals and families in our Ferguson Office at 409 South Florissant Road. And youth, who are under the age of 20 may obtain services with no out-of-pocket expenses, thanks to a grant from the St. Louis County Children’s Service Fund.
