Family Pathways is a statewide service dedicated to providing assessment, treatment, and support for children aged 6 to 12 years with complex and longstanding mental health difficulties. The program focuses on addressing overwhelming emotions and intense emotional distress experienced by children, offering a range of services tailored to meet the individual needs of each child. Family Pathways takes a family-focused approach, aiming to be flexible and adaptable in addressing educational, social, behavioral, emotional, and mental health challenges.
At Family Pathways, each child’s admission to the program is unique, and the approach is customized accordingly. Upon referral, children are contacted by a Pathways clinician to discuss their specific needs and develop a personalized treatment plan. The program offers various treatment options, including assessments in the day recovery program, family-based interventions, and education support. Access to the Pathways program is facilitated through other CAHS services, ensuring a seamless and comprehensive approach to mental health care for children.
For health professionals looking to refer a patient to Family Pathways or seeking urgent mental health assistance for children and young people, the program provides dedicated contact information and support services. Located at Stubbs Terrace in Shenton Park, Family Pathways is committed to delivering high-quality care and support to children with mental health challenges, promoting their well-being and overall development. The program’s philosophy revolves around individualized care, collaboration with families, and a holistic approach to addressing mental health difficulties in children.
