Youth & Young Adults

Youth & Young Adults

Both our treatment and rehabilitation staff has expertise in helping a full range of ages. Clinical treatment is available for children as young as four years of age as well as for adolescents, young adults, adults, and seniors. Family members are encouraged to be active participants in the treatment plan. For older adolescents and young adults with mental illness, particularly, Pathways includes the nationally recognized, evidence-based practice of Family Psycho-education in its clinical strategies to help family members understand the illness and supportively respond to behavioral symptoms. 
Psychiatric rehabilitation programming intensively supports the young person with a mental illness by addressing life domains with rehabilitation plans that complement treatment and assist the individual in recovery from the illness.    We specialize in services for Transitional Age Youth with mental illness. For more about this program, click on "Housing" in the "Programs and Services" drop down menu above and refer to the section on Transitional Age Youth.

For someone enrolled in the Community Support program, staff delivers services to an individual’s preferred location. Staff travels to a person’s home or other chosen locations and provides services there on individually arranged schedules that coincide with the person's needs. 

Peer Support services is a proven strategy that improves a person's quality of life; increases and improves engagement with services; and increases health and self-management. Peer support programs provide an opportunity for peers to assist others in their recovery journey. Our Peer Support program is housed at the Calvert County Parole and Probation office and the Calvert County Department of Social Services office. Services demonstrate a high degree of flexibility and are individualized to the person receiving support to include: 
  • Individualized and group peer support meetings. 
    • These meetings are conducted at times and locations of the consumers choice, which may include telephonic, face to face and or virtual platforms. 
  • Activities and interventions that reduce isolation 
  • Vocational activities: assistance with resume development and interview prep. 
  • Accessing entitlements and other social services 
  • Recovery advocacy, resource coordination, recovery groups, mentorship and goal setting
  • Connection to treatment-based supports
The highest level of support service available from Pathways is Intensive Support and is only available in a Pathways residence. Staffing in such residences is available on site for up to 24 hours per day. It is usually indicated in cases where the individual is transitioning from long-term hospitalization or may exhibit behaviors which indicate a need for frequent staff intervention. The individual needing staff intervention to a lesser degree in a Pathways residence is offered Varied Support. While also tailored to the individual, on average, a recipient of this level of support would be provided roughly three hours of on-site service daily.
