Overview of the Program The Pathstone organization’s main program is to provide Individual and family therapy to children, youth, adults, and families. This program mainly focuses on improving the mental health of its clients and relies on the two models that are associated with the program. Here are two models described below: 1. Health Promotion and Prevention 2. Harm Reduction Description of Both the Models: 1. Health Promotion and Prevention Model: Individual and family therapy program is mainly created to provide better health facilities with appropriate knowledge and understanding to resolve the mental health illness issues of children, young people, adults as well and families. This program aims to understand the reasons and trigger that causes mental illness for the patient, and according to the identified issues the therapy provided to the patients. It helps to effectively work on the main important weak points of the patient and reduce the effects of illness. Three levels of Prevention Strategies: Primary Prevention Secondary Prevention Tertiary Prevention The prevention strategies of the program primarily include prevention, detection, and early treatment after identifying and understanding the symptoms in the patients. As the Pathstone organization wants to bring effective health services to make people recover from their mental health issues. 2. Harm Reduction Model: 2
Individual and Family Therapy mainly focuses on reducing the harm caused by mental illness issues in children, young people, as well as adults. Anxiety and depression or other mental health illness issues can lead to self-harm as well as harm to surrounding people. Anxiety makes the patient unconscious which can lead to any self-harm step. This program helps to make the patient comfortable and slowly and step-wise reduce the anxiety and depression issues by making the person comfortable and making the patient understand their strengths and talents to distract them from the mental health issues. Example- This program gives therapy to make the patient understand and care about self, and seek the support of their family members to provide them proper care and love. The anxiety can mainly be treated through providing care, support, and love for the loved ones. Family therapy plays a crucial role in making family members, as it makes family member closer to each other and helps to provide proper care to each other. Challenges met by Pathstone Foundation: Lack of open-communication Dealing with anger, resentment, and mistrust Unhealthy family dynamics Ethical dilemmas Limitations or Barriers arise in the Program: No peer interaction: Many times, individual therapy does not allow individuals to determine and openly communicate with others socially. Group therapies may lead to some misunderstanding among family members while sharing personal things with other people in sessions. Many individuals do not follow instructions properly which leads to many issues, and limitations, as individuals hide their issues to avoid revealing personal things. Group therapies are seen as less flexible in comparison to individual therapies, as family members bound themselves to share their real feelings and thoughts. 3

Individual therapies also experience some barriers as individuals who are very extremely antisocial, shy, and impulsive take a lot of time to get open and take time to talk comfortably. 4
