Caring for You in Recovery
Our Alumni and Community Outreach Team believes in you and your capabilities. We are here to provide you with the necessary skills and tools to continue your recovery journey. While recovery is not always linear, we believe in the ability to progress towards a lasting recovery. Additionally, we work to provide your family, friends and caregivers with supportive tools ranging from education and webinars to articles and support groups, specifically designed for support systems of loved ones in treatment.
I believe [Pathlight]’s mood disorder program may have changed my life. It was the first time I felt both seen and heard in therapy. I use the skills I learned at [Pathlight] every day. I think everyone should learn the skills [Pathlight] teaches.
