About

PATH’s mission is to build critical connections with impacted parents and communities so families can live free from the harms of the family policing system and collectively create a more just and supportive future.

Support

  • Policy & Advocacy

    PATH’s advocacy work is rooted in lived experience, community power, and a commitment to transforming systems that have historically harmed families. It is not just about policy change. It is about shifting culture, practice, and power so that families are supported, respected, and kept together. Through leadership development, community spaces, and direct engagement, PATH equips parents to speak on their experiences, influence systems, and shape solutions that reflect what families truly need.

  • Healing & Wellness

    PATH’s work around healing and wellness is grounded in the understanding that families impacted by the child welfare system often carry deep layers of trauma, stress, and isolation. Healing is not treated as an add-on. It is central to how PATH builds community, develops leaders, and supports families in reclaiming their power. At its core, PATH creates spaces where parents can show up as their full selves, not as cases, but as people. Wellness is approached through connection, reflection, and restoration, recognizing that healing happens in relationship with others who understand.
