Who We AreWe are families helping families. We empower and support families and youth struggling with behavioral, emotional or substance abuse challenges in navigating resources to achieve wellness and resilience.
What We DoWe provide support for families and their children in King County. We provide one-to-one parent support to help guide parents through the System of Care while their child is having difficulty and during recovery. We provide peer support to guide youth through their hard times. We offer parent classes and trainings for parent support providers. We have quarterly family social events to have fun and to connect with other families in the community. The majority of our services are free of charge.
What We BelieveWe value family voice, family choice. Youth and families have the right to speak and to make decisions about their behavioral, emotional, mental health care and substance abuse treatment. Youth and families have the right to know the full range of promotion of wellness and prevention options available to them. Family inclusion is fundamental to a strong and effective System of Care.

Description
Guided Pathways -Support for Youth and Families (GPS)is a free-standing, King-county based 501c3 family support organization committed to providing services for families, by families and with families.
Families often have difficulty knowing where to turn for help for their children experiencing emotional and behavioral difficulties or problems with substance abuse. Navigating complex service systems can be a frustrating, confusing and challenging experience for families. Traditionally, systems fail to help families mitigate against these experiences. An effective way to help families is to provide peer support and parent partners to assist families in navigating the complex child-serving systems, including juvenile justice, child welfare, and mental health and substance abuse treatment.
National research suggests that this approach is highly effective -both for families and for the system. GPS provides these supports for families through a Peer Partner.
