Pathways is a program that is designed to serve the severely and persistently mentally ill who want a change to live a full and productive life.  Pathways is based on the clubhouse model rather than a traditional treatment setting. Members learn leadership skills in a variety of ways, including becoming officers, working in the units, and learning skills necessary to function independently. They are encouraged to use their time productively and to attempt new experiences.
MEMBERS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN ALL AREAS OF PATHWAYS INCLUDING ADMINISTRATION, RESEARCH, INTAKE AND ORIENTATION OF NEW MEMBERS, REACH OUT, HIRING, TRAINING AND EVALUATION OF STAFF, PUBLIC RELATIONS, AND ADVOCACY.

ALL WORK IN PATHWAYS IS DESIGNED TO HELP MEMBERS REGAIN SELF-WORTH, PURPOSE, AND CONFIDENCE.

THE WORK-ORDERED DAY ENGAGES STAFF TOGETHER, SIDE-BY-SIDE, IN THE DAILY ACTIVITIES OF PATHWAYS. THE FOCUS IS ON MEMBERS' STRENGTHS, TALENTS, AND ABILITIES.
