Pathways Virtual Tour

Pathways is established to provide long-term, post-dispositional residential services to troubled adolescent boys between the ages of 12 and 17. Residents are involved in ongoing individual, group, and family counseling in a structured environment designed to encourage increased responsibility and individual growth.
Pathways will provide full time care, maintenance, protection and guidance to adolescent males. During this time the resident will obtain the necessary tools to survive and become productive members of society which includes: personal, social, ethics, school, self esteem and a structured environment.
The program is aimed at teaching and reinforcing new methods of communication, problem solving, and assuming responsibility for actions. The program emphasizes both individual and group experiences. It is focused on managing stress and learning appropriate ways of resolving difficulties through communication and cooperation rather than avoidance and/or denial.
While in the program residents will attend public schools. This program will be monitored and supportive services will be available to assist residents in succeeding in academic situations.
The overall goal is to work with a juvenile and his family to facilitate growth both as an individual and a family (family involvement only if requested by the legal guardian.) We hope to encourage all family members to assume responsibility for difficulties and to work towards resolving differences. The primary focus will be on the individual resident with the goal of increasing mature and responsible actions through staff, family and peers activities.
