ABOUT
PA TREATMENT & HEALING (PATH)
The
Agency possesses a tremendous reputation of success in dealing with
youth and families throughout Northeastern and Central Pennsylvania
for more than 23 years. The essence of our community-based approach
is the stability that we are able to provide by balancing treatment
structure with therapy. This produces an environment in which youth
feel safe and secure and are able to most effectively deal with
their issues. The backbone of our therapeutic approach is our
Relationship-based Cognitive Behavioral Theory of Counseling which was developed for
"high-risk" youth and families in conflict on order to
help them process and defuse conflict and negative emotions and work
toward healing. Staff support the youth and family while teaching
positive coping skills and helping to correct thinking errors. All
services are child-centered, family focused, community-based,
multi-systemic and collaborative, culturally competent and offered
in the least restrictive and intrusive setting as possible. |
