Jacob G. Schmidlapp Trust, Fifth Third Bank, N.A., Trustee, is Igniting Hope & Changing Futures

NewPath Child & Family Solutions recently received a $ 1o0,000 grant from the Jacob G. Schmidlapp Trust, Fifth Third Bank, N.A., Trustee. This $100,000 investment supports the ongoing expansion of Residential Interventions (RI), which better meets the growing needs of youth in our community. Since 2020, Residential program referrals have surged from nearly 230 to 949 annually. To support the increasing regional demand, we’re expanding our footprint by 30% by converting an existing administrative building into a sixth unit and adding 16 beds. This expansion enhances access to our state-of-the-art facilities for youth in need of intensive care.

NewPath’s Residential Intercentions (RI) Services

Our Residential Interventions provide safe, secure, and trauma-responsive residential services in a therapeutic environment. Services are designed to facilitate each child’s transition to a safe and less restrictive environment. Residential interventions are provided 24 hours a day, seven days a week, year-round.

The program provides a comprehensive therapeutic environment to assist youth who display moderate to severe emotional or behavioral disturbance and/ or youth who have become a risk to their own safety or the safety of others.
