Enroll in our 2011 Groups programs and be part of the bigger picture

It has been said that children are one third of our population, but all of our future.

Nowhere could this statement be more affirmed than here at Pathways, where our groundbreaking resilience programs echo into the future of children's lives.

Next year, as an adjunct to the world-renowned Friends programs, parents have the unique opportunity to participate in research that will literally benefit families around the globe and for decades to come.

Parents will receive comprehensive reports on their child's progress through the Friends program, and will be asked to complete questionnaires before, immediately upon completion, and 12 months after as a follow-up. These interviews and reports worth over $2 000, will be completely free of charge.

Those who choose to participate in the research will not only be receiving a thorough assessment of their child's progress through Friends, but will play a vital part in refining Pathways' World Health Organization-endorsed resilience programs. In short, they will make a lasting contribution to future generations of children.

Aside from the lasting proven benefits of the Friends Program, parents will have the opportunity to complete, free of charge, the new adult resilience program, ‘Transitions', in 2012. This program is worth over $1 500 per adult.

Please tell all your friends and relatives!

Anyone who brings eight children to enroll into a group receives the program for their own child / family member free of charge. Additionally, if someone brings two children, or they bring their own child and another friend of the family, they will receive 10% discount for each new referred child.
