  • Pathways2LIFE Message Video (click play below)

Pathways2Life (P2L) is excited to partner with Centennial High School.  Our goal is to transform students’ lives. Our core belief is “there is another way to respond to life’s challenges, another way to help youth navigate harmful substances and another way to build strong communities”. P2L will work with students, parents and school staff to create safe spaces that allow them to find their path. We will deliver prevention strategies designed to protect our teenagers as they move through this challenging time.  We aim to increase understanding of mental wellness, substance use, and critical life skills. We will assess and intervene so that students can fulfill their potential – from the family room to the classroom and beyond.

P2L team members have overcome various obstacles including mental health challenges, behavior disorders and addiction.  Our personal journeys have taught us important lessons and enable us to speak with authority and conviction about the challenges that today’s young people face. We have become trusted guides leading others to growth.  For more information on P2L, please contact us at (404) 317-7203 or check out our website at www.pathways2life.org
