Our Mental Health Therapists Focus on Preventive Care

 

Our broad-based community behavioral health programs focus first on preventive care. This mantra helps to equip individuals with the strategies and tools for a full recovery to prevent ongoing problems with anxiety and stress, and alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. Pathways mental health therapists and substance abuse counselors view secondary prevention as a tool to identify problems early and reduce high-risk behavior. Pathways team members use a mixture of both primary and secondary prevention services.

The path to community wellness starts today with Pathways. Call 319-352-2064 for more information or to schedule an appointment with one of our mental health therapists. Face-to-face and virtual services are available.
