Pathways Program is a program in conjunction with the Lorain County Juvenile Court System.

Escape Plan for Children You have the right to feel safe. Home can sometimes be a place that is not safe because someone is using their body and or words to hurt the people in your home. This is a safety plan for you to follow when someone in our home becomes violent, and you feel scared.

My Escape Plan

• I will know how to call 911 or 0 for help.
• I can tell a family member or a friend.
• I can talk with my schoolteacher or counselor.
• I can save money for a phone call at a pay phone.
• If I have a house key, I will keep it in a safe place.
• I will keep a few of my favorite things together in case we have to leave suddenly.

Reflections of me through Art

Program designed to provide children with the opportunity to:
