Pathways to Community Counseling (PCC)

Pathways to Community Counseling (PCC) services are provided in a youth’s home or in an amenable community location by a licensed behavioral health clinician. The location of PCC services helps destigmatize mental health counseling and therapy. Services are intended to stabilize and support the youth and family to deter more intensive interventions and to support the client and family. PCC is an analytical, focused, goal oriented, and needs-based clinical intervention that addresses emotional and behavioral challenges of clients with moderate to high needs. It is a short-term, solution focused intervention that addresses presenting behaviors resulting in the youth and their family, care giver, and/or guardian gaining insight and improving function at home and in the community.

Visions and Pathways wants to be part of the closing racial disparity gap. PCC helps destigmatize mental health services, increase services to LGBTQI+ youth, and increase access to mental health services for Latino and Black families.

The Behavioral Health Department provides at-risk youth with:

• a variety of therapeutic approaches to support mental, spiritual and physical health,
• opportunities for personal growth, and
• resources to improve social skills.
