Who We Serve
Family Pathways serves parents and families navigating some of the most overwhelming seasons of life—when a teen or young adult is struggling and the household feels stuck in crisis, conflict, or uncertainty. Our services are designed for families who need clarity, structure, and guidance, whether they are early in the process or transitioning out of higher levels of care.
We work alongside parents who want to take an active role in creating change at home while receiving expert support every step of the way.
Families of Teens (Ages 12–18)
We support families with adolescents experiencing emotional, behavioral, or mental health challenges that are disrupting daily life, school, and relationships.
Common concerns include:
​
-
Explosive behavior, anger, or emotional outbursts
-
Anxiety, depression, or mood instability
-
School refusal, academic decline, or truancy
-
Defiance, oppositional behavior, or power struggles
-
Substance use or experimentation
-
Social withdrawal or isolation
-
Self-harm behaviors or safety concerns
-
Struggles with boundaries, rules, and accountability
​
Parents often tell us they feel like they are walking on eggshells, unsure how to respond without making things worse. Family Pathways helps parents regain leadership, restore structure, and respond with calm, consistency, and confidence.
Families Navigating Mental Health Challenges
We work with parents of young adults who are stuck, struggling, or cycling through instability—often after multiple attempts at treatment, therapy, or independence.
Common challenges include:
​
-
Failure to launch or difficulty with independence
-
Ongoing substance use or relapse concerns
-
Mental health struggles impacting work, school, or relationships
-
Repeated crises, hospitalizations, or treatment episodes
-
Living at home without structure or accountability
-
Resistance to help or refusal of treatment
-
Strained or broken family relationships
​
Our approach helps parents shift out of crisis management and into clear expectations, healthy boundaries, and forward momentum, while still preserving connection and dignity.
Families Transitioning Into or Out of Treatment
Family Pathways often works with families at critical transition points, including:
​
-
Before residential, PHP, or IOP treatment
-
During treatment to prepare for return home
-
After discharge to prevent relapse or regression
-
When previous treatment attempts haven’t “stuck”
​
We focus on what happens at home, ensuring parents have the tools, structure, and support needed to sustain progress long after treatment ends.
