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. 

The In-Home Intervention Program for Adults (IHIP-A) is designed to provide community-based psychiatric rehabilitation services to individuals who require a higher level of support than is practical with traditional community-based programs. In this program, a team of persons works with each individual as a recognition of the greater challenges in service need. Assertive strategies are utilized to proactively engage individuals in treatment. Crisis support services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. IHIP-A utilizes the recognized best practice of Illness Management and Recovery. This service model emphasizes self-management of mental illness symptoms through systematic education as well as the acquisition and implementation of appropriate coping skills. This range of services available in-home makes Pathways the most flexible service provider in the area. In all instances, the organization attempts to satisfy the consumer's desire for a living situation that will best meet the individual's needs and desires.  

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.
