WHO IS THIS FOR?Everyone at some point in their life, has pain and pressure, this is but a part of the human experience. How we face our difficulties is what makes or breaks us and there are some positive answers for people facing emotional and personal difficulties. The PATHWAYS self-help group program model is a modest effort to try to teach participants how to achieve their own personal happiness as well as how to assist other young people in finding peace, and joy even in the midst of trouble. The PATHWAYS program is an innovative, stimulating ten-week social skills and character development curriculum model, which is designed to provide youth (ages 12 to 14) with knowledge, skills and the ability to address specific social situations that could become problematic without support. The self-help group process will help youth to better understand and cope with their emotions and assist them to develop positive values, morals, and decision-making skills. It will encourage participants to become responsible so they can set and achieve short term and long-range life enhancement goals.
