PATH Successes
A youth living in one of our
PATH Wisconsin foster homes had significant struggles last year in
school behaviorally and academically. He was even expelled from summer
school. He just received his first progress report and got all A's and
one B! He also has been getting great reports from his teachers on his
behavior. Not only is this a big change for him but he has done this
well and he just started high school and we were all afraid that this
transition would be tough for him. PATH foster care is working!
A family from St. Croix County, Wisconsin had been receiving services
from the county for at least 6-7 years and now is receiving services
from PATH’s In-Home Family Therapy program. All of the parties who have
worked with this family state they have seen more progress in the months
that PATH Wisconsin In -Home was working with this family than in all
the years prior to that!
PATH North Dakota family Jana and Troy Solhjem have a full house of four
kids – including an older foster teen. The young man has lived with the
Soljhems for three years and has made amazing strides. Jana and Troy met
the young man as part of another PATH program and have made him part of
their family. This youth is now involved in a variety of sports at his
school and the whole family attends!
PATH Colorado continues to put a dent in the number of children who are
institutionalized in that state. A 12-year-old boy who’d been taken from
his mother as a young child, was living in the psychiatric ward of a
hospital and could not return home, has now been living with a PATH
Colorado foster family for two years, is doing well in school and in
personal relationships, and is developing quite a sophisticated sense of
humor. Intensive treatment foster care is working!
PATH’s Bridge Builders program to help older foster teens with
independent living skills, is working! At the start of their
participation in Bridge Builders, only 8 percent of the youth said they
were confident things in their life would change for the better. After
their participation in Bridge Builders, that number went up to 100 %.
Bridge Builders also dramatically increased the percentage of young
people’s desire to go onto post-secondary education, and made them much
more willing to talk to trusted adults to help them with their lives.
PATH is succeeding each and every day, empowering children and families
to achieve lifelong successes!
