Pathways to Promise

Pathways to Promise is an interfaith cooperative of many faith groups which was founded in 1988 by fourteen faith groups and mental health organizations to facilitate the faith community’s work in reaching out to those with mental illnesses and their families.

We provide training, consultation and other resources for faith groups who want to become supportive, caring communities for people with mental illnesses and their families. Our written resources, which include ministry manuals, bulletin inserts, and training curricula, are used by people at all levels of faith group structures from local congregations to regional and national faith group staff.  Some written materials are available in Protestant, Roman Catholic or Jewish versions.

PATHWAYS is committed to creating an atmosphere in the faith and mental health communities which promote recovery from mental illness and invites people with mental illnesses to enrich the community through actively sharing their gifts and interests.

PATHWAYS offers a variety of services and resources:
