PATHS

PATHS PATHS is a nonprofit organization that promotes the understanding that face-to-face human connection is the number one element supporting human well-being.

PATHS promotes the understanding of the human need for connection. PATHS calls into question the current imbalanced use of primarily only two tools to deal with the well-being challenges of today - medication and one-on-one therapy, often over zoom. PATHS believes that properly prescribed medication is a valuable tool that is needed today. PATHS is also delighted that more Americans than ever befo

re, from all backgrounds, are increasingly comfortable going to therapy. However, medication and therapy cannot solve what for many of us is a basic missing piece in our lives - not enough face-to-face connection with other people. In addition to promoting awareness, PATHS provides ongoing workshops in which a consistent group of people can develop trust, have a lot of fun, learn a lot, and connect about important issues in their lives.

UNITED STATES SURGEON GENERAL UNDER OBAMA AND BIDEN, VIVEK MURTHY, CALLS ATTENTION TO THE CRITICAL ROLE OF CONNECTION IN HUMAN WELL-BEING:

“The impact of lacking social connection on reducing a lifespan is equal to the risk of smoking 15 ci******es a day, and it's greater than the risk associated with obesity, excess alcohol consumption, and lack of exercise.”

Murthy, Vivek H. Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World. Harper Collins, 2020. p13
