About Zrpath – Tucson
Zrpath, formerly known as Zarephath, is an organization in Tucson, Arizona, that offers a range of social services for kids, teens and families. People facing challenges such as addiction, mental illness, trauma, poverty and unplanned parenthood can find support, community and resources here. Their team of compassionate mental and behavioral health professionals meets clients where they are and provides personalized, comprehensive care to help them identify and achieve their goals.
The Zrpath team understands that adverse life experiences often result in behavioral challenges as well as issues such as low self esteem and confidence, a lack of trust and difficulty forming healthy relationships. Through evidence based techniques, modeling and positive reinforcement, they seek to educate and empower young people so they can find hope, realize their potential and flourish.
They offer multiple programs and resources in schools to provide kids with a supportive, safe learning environment conducive to academic success. The program also offers community and outpatient services, including counseling and life skills courses, at other locations. Their aim isn’t just to help students succeed in school, but in life.
Zrpath provides trauma informed counseling services specifically designed for kids and teens who have experienced events such as violence, sexual abuse or neglect. This is important since therapy that is not trauma sensitive can inadvertently trigger or retraumatize patients, inhibiting their healing.
Another good thing about Zrpath is that they encourage family members and caregivers to be actively engaged in drug rehab counseling and other forms of treatment. This is key because having a strong support network is vital for lasting recovery.
Their Family Success Program is neat as well. It helps families learn to communicate and solve problems more effectively while gaining a better understanding and appreciation for one another. I really appreciate that, since addiction often affects the whole family.
