Pathways Vermont

Pathways Vermont A non-profit organization that provides community-based mental health services and collaborative learning that center people as the experts of their own lives.

Pathways Vermont is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that supports people to live and thrive in the community at times in their lives when they are most distressed: when they are struggling with thoughts of suicide, are experiencing homelessness, incarceration, institutionalization, mental health struggles or substance use challenges. Pathways Vermont is the first and largest Housing First organi

zation in Vermont, providing permanent housing without requirements or barriers. This evidence based model has been proven to be the most successful approach to ending and preventing homelessness. Through our Housing First programs, we serve people struggling with mental health and substance abuse issues, as well as veterans, families, and people coming out of correctional facilities and other institutions. We use a peer-supported alternative approach to mental health in which individuals with lived experience of mental health challenges guide and aid those experiencing similar challenges. From our Community Center that provides peer support in a friendly setting, to our Soteria House which supports people experiencing mental health crises for the first time, to our 7 days/week, non-judgemental phone Support Line, our programs have an immeasurable impact on the everyday lives of our neighbors in need. Since our inception in 2010, Pathways Vermont has succeeded in:

Housing more than 500 individuals, including 180 children
Helping 75 people find employment
Completing 28,842 supportive phone conversations
Preventing 1,122 instances of use of emergency services

✨ Meet Catherine, Department of Corrections Operations Specialist!

“Hi - I’m Catherine!

I would describe myself as supportive, organized, practical, and curious. I enjoy jigsaw puzzles, reading, and running. I am a member of our local Rotary Club, Girl Scout leader, and Little Free Pantry Volunteer. I am also the director of a youth Summer Track and Field program.

I joined Pathways Vermont as the Department of Corrections (DOC) Operations Specialist in November 2025. Much of my day is spent organizing things behind the scenes to allow our teams to support program participants. This can include move-in coordination, report updates, phone support, and supply acquisition.

My favorite part of working here is seeing participants doing well in our program and graduating. It’s wonderful to see these individuals finding success. I know how hard our team works to support them. The passion and care at Pathways Vermont are extraordinary. Everyone is willing to help however they can, whether it is supporting another Pathways employee or a participant.”

Last month, Pathways Vermont and Howard Center presented about Mental Health Urgent Care (MHUC) at The Power of Peer Support 2026 National Conference in Ottawa!

MHUC, located in Burlington, is a collaboration that brings together partners from the University of Vermont Medical Center, Community Health Centers, Howard Center, and Pathways Vermont.

Matt Kimball, MHUC Peer Support Team Lead (Pathways Vermont), and Audrey Davis, MHUC Clinical Supervisor (Howard Center), walked through the collaboration, from early discussions to the grand opening, which made the MHUC partnership successful.

J Helms, Training Institute Director (Pathways Vermont), provided an overview of the foundational peer support training series provided to MHUC staff across disciplines, including peer support providers and clinicians.

We were so proud to be at the conference and to share the impact of this important program!
