About Us

Our Approach

At Platform Pathways, we are dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment for boys ages 7 to 17 who have experienced family trauma, behavioral and academic issues, emotional instability, and backgrounds of abuse and neglect. Our approach focuses on individualized care, assessing each resident's personal and emotional needs, and creating tailored treatment plans. We offer support through individual and group counseling, educational assistance, and necessary medical care to help our residents develop the discipline, cooperation, and social skills needed for a healthy and productive life.
