​​​Children's Home ​

We are dedicated to treat the whole person.  We understand that mental health disorders can coexist with physical problems and substance use disorders and that sometimes physical problems and substance use can cause mental health disorders. Our staff are trained in identifying the complications of multiple life stressors, which may include medical and substance use diagnoses.

People.  Passion.  Service.

PPathways provides assessment and treatment services to children and adolescents from birth through 21 years of age that have behavioral health disorders.  These services are designed to aid children and families in age appropriate development and functioning in the community.

​
Services are provided face-to-face or through telehealth utilizing evidence-based practices that focus on the child and family's strengths while building both natural and community resources to encourage family independence.

Our therapists have a minimum of a Master’s degree or are completing a practicum for their Master’s degree. They have a strong understanding of child and family development, trauma, and behavioral health disorders and treatment interventions. Our therapists understand that mental health diagnosis and treatment is very different for children and youth than for adults.

Our therapists work with the family to assess unmet needs, coordinate services and develop an individualized treatment plan intended to support the child and his or her family. They provide information on resources and community-based services, which may further benefit the child.  In addition, medication evaluations and monitoring are provided, as needed.

​
Pathways' therapists are highly trained to work with families wherever they are needed to ensure that the family’s needs are met. They will meet children and families at home, in school, and in our conveniently located clinics.

​​Children, Youth & Family​​

Evidence Based and Best Practices

We're proud to say that in a recent survey of the parents and youth, we rated 4.2 on a 5-point scale.  One parent said, "Pathways meets our expectations in every way.”  One of the children we served exclaimed, "I love it here!"  Pathways can connect children & families with the services we’ve described.  Are you or someone you know struggling with a child's behavior or feelings?  Pathways can help!

What do Children and Families Say?

The Opportunity Knocks Program is supported 

This is a clinically driven, individualized service that provides intensive in-home and community support to families with children with behavioral struggles. Teams provide an average of four to 15 hours per week of treatment for an average of three to six months. This is for children and youth at risk of hospitalization or other out of home placement.​

Pathways provides specialty mental health services to children and youth between the ages of 0-21 living in Orange County with Orange County Medi-Cal.
