The Pathways program provides emergency residential placements for females 13-18 in a staff intensive residential setting. Pathways acts as an alternative to psychiatric hospitalization, out-of-county residential placement, or juvenile detention placement for youth with serious emotional and behavioral problems who have a history of abuse, neglect, dependency, or long-term chronic mental health issues.

The assessment begins with the intake/admission process. The assessment includes, but is not limited to the following:
- The youth's understanding and reaction to the placement
- Affect: behavior, language, mood, non-verbal communication
- Consistency of youth's perception with the referral worker's information
- History of previous placement(s): number, frequency, success, problems encountered
- History of involvement with other systems: juvenile court, protect services
- Risk assessment for suicide, aggressiveness, truancy, drug/alcohol abuse, and further victimization of abuse.
