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
waters of mental illness alone.” ~ Sharon Lawrenz

Our commitment is to serving the personal and social needs of individuals and families arising from the experience of mental illness. Our focus is on creating services and programs to encourage, empower and educate individuals & families arising from dealing with a
broad spectrum of mental illnesses.

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