To successfully manage their symptoms, persons who are mentally ill need a comprehensive network of interdisciplinary services, including medication, psychiatric care, counseling, supportive housing, rehabilitation services, and prevocational and vocational services. Pathways sponsors a continuum of care and programs to help the mentally ill fulfill their potential and lead productive lives in the community.

1. INPATIENT/HOSPITAL SERVICES: Pathways works with the discharge team at the hospital to develop a solid plan to facilitate a person's move from the hospital to the community.

2. OUTPATIENT CARE: Pathways arranges for clients to have outpatient psychiatric care including setting up a day program, a psychiatrist, and other supportive services.

3. MEDICATION: Pathways offers medication monitoring at all of its housing facilities.

4. HOUSING: Pathways provides a range of housing options.

• Milbank Community Residence: A licensed group home for 8 residents; targeted for individuals who require 24 hour supervision.

• Davis Supervised Apartment Program: 3 apartments, capable of housing a total of 8 residents; targeted for individuals ready for more independent living.

• Brookside Apartments: 8 studio apartments and 4 one bedroom apartments; designed for individuals who do not need the structure or degree of supervision offered in Pathways' other residential programs. Rent is subsidized by HUD's Section 8 Program, making it possible for tenants to pay only 30% of their income for rent.

• 509 East Putnam Avenue Residence: permanent housing in a congregate setting for ten individuals. Each resident has a private room with private bath. Meals, recreation, and support services are available on site. Residents pay 30% of monthly income for rent.

6. PSYCHOSOCIAL REHABILITATION SERVICES: Pathways' Fellowship Club offers individual and group activities to build daily living skills, cultural and educational programs, social/recreational activities, and a free breakfast and lunch program.
