Guided Pathways - Support for Youth & Families

Guided Pathways - Support for Youth & Families We empower youth and family success, however they envision it. King County, WA We value family voice, family choice.

Youth and families have the right to speak and to make decisions about their behavioral health. Youth and families have the right to know the full range of promotion of wellness and prevention options available to them. Family inclusion is fundamental to a strong and effective system of care. We offer support for families and their children in King County, giving one-to-one parent support to help guide parents through the System of Care while their child is having difficulty and during recovery from substance use disorders or mental health challenges. We provide youth peer support to guide youth through their hard times and facilitate classes and support groups for both youth and parents. The majority of these services are free of charge. GPS is distinguished from other peer support programs by its primary focus being the parent/guardian rather than the child or youth. This allows GPS to provide family-driven peer support which has shown tremendous success for families and youth. We encourage families and youth to determine their own desired outcomes. They may range from a reduction in suicidal ideation to housing security, from reduced truancy to access to mental health services, from improved parenting to reduction in running away. Our program is strength-based meaning that we help parents and youth identify their strengths and build on them to address their challenges.
