What makes Pathway To Hope different?
When it comes to helping individuals and families facing mental illness is community that makes the difference. Finding people that understand what it’s like to live with serious mental illness is refreshing. Whether you join in a Courage Group or participate in our E3: Encourage • Empower • Education™ Course you’re going to find a group of peers that have faced their fears and found their way through survival to thriving. Our supportive housing provides opportunity for people to transition to independence. The Peer 2 Peer services and Clubhouse are just getting started and we're excited for what they will bring to the community!
Getting a clear understanding of diagnosis, learning healthy communications skills, finding our own healthy boundaries, and gaining permission to care for yourself, all the while living in the extraordinary circumstances that make up mental illness. No one is here to tell you what to do, and yet you can find resources and learn what has worked for others. Learning to accept your own movement through the stages of recovery.
We are here to join you! We're sure that community makes a difference because we've seen it in action. When I replaces We, even illness becomes wellness!
