Pathways program

Providing mentorship, scholarships and training to empower people of color to enter the mental health field.

Reimagining a future where all heal; equally.

Pathways is rooted in the hope that one day all families will connect with a therapist who fits their cultural and mental health needs.

Together, we can move toward a future with equitable social, economic and cultural access to mental health care for all. Representation is a critical marker of successful care. When children see themselves, they heal.

Changing the pathways into the mental health profession

This new, evolving initiative addresses the striking lack of diversity in the behavioral health workforce. Nationally, only 6% of psychologists and 12% of social workers are people of color.

Together, we can move toward a future with equitable social, economic and cultural access to mental health care for all.

About Pathways

By providing internships, scholarships, hands-on learning and mentoring, Pathways will address some of the inequities and barriers that have prevented young people of color from entering the mental health field.
