Our History
In 1988, Sharon and Dick’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 reality.
They wanted to help other families.
“No one should navigate the uncharted
