Pathway of Hope is rooted in the case management approach.  Rather than looking at problems, the program develops strengths to assist clients in reaching their goals.

A team is developed consisting of a client, case manager, and the community.  A case manager works intensively with a small number of families to help them achieve short and long-term goals through collaboration and accessing community resources.

Pathway of Hope helps client families by:

• Empowering them to achieve change by recognizing their inherent strengths and skills
• Developing an action plan that includes personal goals
• Providing relevant Salvation Army services
• Referring families to appropriate community resources
• To qualify for Pathway of Hope, a family must have at least one child under the age of 18, and be ready to take steps to make long-term change
