Thank you, The Captive Advantage LLC Key Program is honored to be a member of TCA and we thank you for your partnership!
The Captive Advantage (TCA) provides innovative insurance solutions for human and social services organizations. We offer unique benefits that help members manage risk, improve efficiency, save money, and better serve individuals in their care and the communities. This Spotlight is with Tammy Mello, President & CEO of The Key Program, Inc. Q: Tell us about The Key Program. Tammy Mello (TM): We provide a continuum of services specifically for children, youth, and families that includes a full range of trauma-informed, community-based and residential supports. Our residential models such as group homes and intensive treatment residences provide safe, culturally sensitive support for young people who’ve been placed outside their home of origin. We also operate a children’s behavioral health clinic and the Children’s Charter trauma clinic. Our focus is always to find innovative ways to support young people and their caregivers, most of whom have experienced some kind of trauma. Q: How does TCA support the work you’re doing? TM: Being a TCA member brings us together with other organizations facing similar challenges so we can collaborate and brainstorm new strategies to ensure we maintain health and safety for our clients and staff. As a human services agency, there’s always risk and TCA has instilled the importance of critical thinking related to risk mitigation, including utilizing TCA resources. Working with TCA provides us with the tools we need to guide our decision making related to operations, policy, and program development. Q: What is the single most important benefit of being a member of TCA? TM: The financial dividends are a top benefit, but even more significant are the incredibly valuable interactions and conversations we have with colleagues from other organizations. The Risk & Loss Committee has been really pivotal. Maureen does an amazing job when someone is struggling with a particular issue by reaching out to other members for ideas and solutions. In our case, often the specifics that others bring may not completely apply to the needs of the young population we work with, but being able to hear what others are doing helps us take the idea and tailor it to our needs. We’ve been working with TCA to really focus on physical plant safety and quality assurance. Recently, the Key Program was moved out of the “assigned risk” pool for workers compensation (a designation carrying a higher-level risk and higher premiums). I attribute this shift to working with TCA. Q: What is it like working with TCA? TM: TCA is always very responsive and helpful. They listen and understand our needs and the unique position we are in with the population we serve. I also really appreciate that Robert works very hard at vetting organizations who are looking to become part of TCA to ensure they are as committed as the rest of their membership and not going to increase risk for the larger group. I honestly can’t think of a thing they could do better.

Our Rhode Island Region has a Thanksgiving tradition we would love to share! For over 25 years, they have been hosting Thanksgiving dinners to get the holiday season started with our youth and their families. We had to take a pause during the COVID pandemic but were able to resume this wonderful tradition this year. They had a delicious Thanksgiving dinner, thanks to the partnership with a local high school culinary program. This night also included an area for family portraits, an arts and crafts table, as well as endless games and dancing.
