The Pathways Program
In collaboration with youth, families, community stakeholders, and service providers, the Pathways program works to provide unique service and planning for early intervention and complex needs for families with youth birth-21 in El Paso County and the 4th Judicial District.
Program Overview
The Pathways Program, with REACH Committee direction, provides Care Coordination and ISST (Individualized Service and Support Team) for youth and their families with complex needs. Schools, Municipal and District Courts, and community stakeholders refer youth and their family for the following programming:
- Care Coordination and early intervention for youth 10-17 with drug or alcohol use
- ISST, a neutral planning process for youth ages 0-21
- Unique funding requests for youth ages 0-21 and their family. Our guiding principles include family and youth voice and choice, with shared decision-making as foundational. Funding and services are provided for El Paso and Teller County.

PURPOSE
Pathways programming is a response to unique youth and professional needs in El Paso and Teller Counties.
The REACH Committee includes state-appointed members for CYDC (Colorado Youth Detention Continuum – 4th JD; El Paso and Teller County focus ages 10-17) and CMP (Collaborative Management Project – El Paso County focus ages 0-21) In collaboration with stakeholders, the REACH Committee reviews data and budgets to plan services and programming.
The focus of CMP is to ensure family voice and choice through family planning meetings like ISST (Individualized Service and Support Team), HFW (High Fidelity Wraparound), and FEMs (Family Engagement Meetings at DHS)
