We came out of the program with more than we expected going in—not only has my son learned to live independently again but we’ve made life-long friends.

Your path to well-being
The Path Program offers coordinated specialty care for teens and young adults who may be experiencing psychosis or early symptoms indicating risk for psychosis.
The psychosis spectrum
Psychosis exists on a spectrum, ranging from fleeting unusual experiences that rarely interfere with daily life (if at all) to fully-developed psychosis that causes a significant impact on school, work, and/or social functioning. Our multidisciplinary team of clinicians specializes in distinguishing between the early stages of psychosis and designing tailored treatment plans accordingly.
