Frequently Asked
Questions.
How long will my child need to receive services for?
This answer can change based on factors such as:
- Specific diagnosis
- Acuity and duration of symptoms
- Personal motivation and willingness to engage in services
- Personal support systems
- Personal goals for care
Perspective can also make a big difference in how long services are necessary. With an illness removal perspective, services will be needed just long enough to reduce or manage negative symptoms, which can take a few weeks to a year. However, with a wellness promotion perspective, the focus will be enhancing the positive aspects of life, and preventing future issues. This approach may take more time, as it is like exercising, but for mental well-being instead of physical.
What is important is to note that regardless of approach, you will always have control over your child’s care. PATH will work collaboratively with you to develop meaningful treatment goals that focus on individual needs.
You will also review progress regularly to determine whether ongoing care is still the right choice for your child.
What does "PATH" Stand For?
PATH is an acronym for Positive Advocates Teaching and Helping. We felt it was important to choose a name that put positivity first as we believe seeing themselves in a positive light is crucial to our clients’ success.
We also intentionally choose the term “advocates” for our employees because advocates are defined by the support they provide. Our team is happy to serve in support of your success!
What ages do you provide services to?
We proudly run on the promise of “zero barrier care.” Under this promise, we do not limit the ages that we serve. Still, in most cases, we don’t recommend services for children younger than school-aged, as those children are often best served by early intervention specialists. However, we are very willing to provide assessment and evaluation services to children and adolescents of any age. If we believe anyone, regardless of age, would be better served by another provider, we will make that recommendation and assist you in arranging for services that can best meet your needs.
Adolescents who start service here can also transition from minor care to adult care services if necessary as well.
What type of funding do you accept?
PATH is primarily funded through state Medicaid funding and income sensitive payment models. Although each state may have a different name for the programs that manage Medicaid funds, PATH accepts funding from all agencies that manage and distribute Medicaid payments.
We also accept many private insurance providers, contact your local Path office to find out if your insurer will cover our services.
