Inclusion is a process of identifying, understanding and breaking down barriers to participation and belonging.

Fall 2009 Pathways recently completed a client satisfaction survey in preparation for the upcoming accreditation process with the Commission for the Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF).
