Pathway to well-being

When people reach out, our response is to connect them to the most accessible services available so they can begin their pathway to well-being. Often, this immediate acknowledgment of their struggle accompanied by reaffirming, “you are not alone” helps to relieve stress. Our goals center on helping individuals feel a sense of meaningful connection and belonging to a community. Once individuals have moved through this system of support, they may re-engage with any of the services should they require them.
