About us

Who we are
Pathway To Hope is a Non-Profit 501(c) 3 organization founded by Dick and Sharon Lawrenz in December 2000. 

Why was this organization created?
In 1988, Sharon and Dick Lawrenz's 11 year old son was diagnosed with mental illness.

The couple struggled through a cumbersome Mental Health System and as a result of those taxing experiences, Pathway To Hope became a dream. 

They wanted to help other families.  "No one should navigate the uncharted waters of mental illness alone," Sharon said.

Who is Our Executive Director

Sharon Lawrenz

She survived the trauma of her son’s mental health problems. Sharon learned to cope with her own mental health. Strength over pathology prevailed in Sharon’s life.

And that’s how she guides the agency today – building better lives for those suffering with mental illness; strengthening distraught families; providing emotional health check-ups. more info
