A Dream Come True
In April 2024, PTW held a ribbon cutting ceremony for their new Wellness Center in Lancaster, CA. The PTW Wellness Center will offer a comprehensive program of mental health services in an outpatient setting, including preventive services, screening, diagnosis, and treatment of mental health and substance use disorders (SUDs), in addition to wellness classes such as meditation, fitness, healthy cooking, relaxation strategies, caregiver support, cultural activities, workforce development, and community wellness events. The Center was funded by the CA Department of Healthcare Services’ Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP), which aims to expand the reach and scope of behavioral health services across the state.
This was my dream, my vision, when I returned home after my years of addiction almost 30 years ago, to provide a place of healing, care, and support for those that society has neglected and forgotten. When I started Paving the Way nearly 20 years ago, I wanted to get our community trained in jobs that can sustain them and support their families, be able to give those that are coming home hope, knowing that there are people here in their corner to help them move through the steps of reintegrating into their communities and families.
Our Wellness Center is a huge step forward to bringing world class services and resources to our community, and this is still only the beginning. I am deeply grateful for the support from the State, the County, our private funders, and my amazing team. I stand humbled and in awe.”
