Here at Pathways, we strive to improve the lives of people in the communities we serve by inspiring personal growth, health, and wellness while serving each individual with the utmost compassion and integrity. Our primary goal is to provide our clients with the necessary guidance to ensure their long-term success. We measure this with positive outcomes. Pathway’s staff helps clients engage and seamlessly integrate into their community by providing multilevel support. In doing so, we can ultimately change a person’s life. For example, Jen*, a community member, was at risk for losing their rental home if they did not clean up an excess of old housing supplies and yard debris on the deck and around the house. Our staff helped them find and schedule volunteer services to come clean everything up. Jen was able to maintain their housing and get in and out of their home safely.
Getting clients connected to resources and helping them feel part of their community can substantially impact their daily lives. Our client, Daniel*, was looking for additional support with employment. A staff member was able to refer them to a grant that provided funding for gas vouchers, clothing, and educational materials to help them with their job search. Daniel was able to secure a job that without assistance, they would perhaps never have been able to get. Pathway’s vision is to transform lives nationwide, and we will continue to help clients just like Daniel and Jen to keep making a positive impact on members of the community.
Jonathan* had long standing troubles with alcohol usage. In addition to having frequent mental health crisis, he had cycled through multiple residences as well as caregivers. Jonathan struggled to adequately access housing services as he was frequently too inebriated to attend in office services. He had lost access to a number of different programs because of his tendency to not attend his scheduled appointments. Many of his providers had simply given up, believing that he was incapable of change.
Pathways of Washington was able to help Jonathan. Since he struggled to go to providers offices we went to him and met him where he lived. We worked with Jonathan to outline his goals and focused on first finding housing for Jonathan and stabilizing him in his new home. We then worked with Jonathan to help him access an inpatient recovery program to help address his struggles with alcohol dependency. Once out of inpatient treatment we assisted in getting him enrolled with a long-term outpatient provider who has been able to work with Jonathan to help him maintain his ongoing recovery. Since that time Jonathan has stabilized his housing, maintains a positive relationship with his landlord, has a regular caregiver, and has found stability in his mental health.
