  • Individual counselling support while in prison

Pathways Program

Pathways is a 12 week drug and alcohol focussed program delivered for people in WA prisons. The program works to identify how the decisions we make impact on ourselves and our community. We focus on discovering the links that drug and alcohol use have in this process and the consequences which affect our lives and the lives of others. Our counsellors work toward encouraging better understanding and decision making strategies.
