We know that it can be hard to reach out for help for mental health issues. That’s why we offer you multiple flexible treatment options, so we can match you with the exact support you need. Sharing your worries, fears, struggles and sadness with others in a safe and understanding place can unlock something truly beautiful. Transform your life with our residential program.
Support for families and caregivers
We recognize the challenges family, friends and caregivers have experienced and we want you to know how important you are in this process. When your loved one begins treatment, we will be here to guide you through the process, providing you with the education and support you need. As your loved one recovers, use this time for yourself to reset. See how you can get involved:
- Register for our Virtual Family & Friends Education Series.
- Sign up for a Pathlight orientation.

This is done with periodic phone calls, emails, events, support groups and online resources.
