Our Mission

 A Pathway Forward is an organization dedicated to the tenuous and challenging transition our Veterans make from “Active Duty” status, returning to “Civilian” life. Our mission is to generate awareness and resources to support this effort providing basic healthcare needs that are primarily centered around mental health. Our primary resources will be of the remote or virtual health/ telepresence context to allow DIGNITY to that soldier returning home from duty. There is little to no preemptive mental health support available while “under the umbrella”. We believe that having a soldier -decorated or not- make it home, only to be told their symptoms are new, and a visit to the local psychologist is needed is NOT the best or viable solution. We strive to place the candidates in groups similiar to their troop or teams with like needs or challenges in a comfortable, yet discreet session is the better early solution. A solution that will work to directly address and provide early therapy for grief, guilt, and/ or anxiety symptoms. 

Symptoms that if left unchecked, lead to the top ranking

 in homelessness, addiction and suicide in this country. 

WE CAN DO BETTER.
Many solutions needed have already been identified. A Pathway Forward is working to align therapy with daily healthy coping mechanisms like music and learning to play an instrument or two.
