MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM PATH TEAM

The Mental Health Program PATH Team (Projects for Assistance for Transition from Homelessness) does outreach for individuals who are homeless, at imminent risk of becoming homeless, have a serious mental illness, or have co-occurring mental illness and substance abuse.  Once the PATH team reaches a client, the Gateway mental health program allows the client to stabilize, create an individual action plan, establish a medication compliance regimen, and participate in groups and classes that lead to independent living and self-sufficiency.
