About Us

Welcome to the Pathways Family Resource Center in Salem. We serve as a partner to help parents and children wishing to access a complete range of resources. We are part of a statewide network of community-based providers offering multicultural parenting programs, support groups, information and referral resources, and education for families whose children range in age from birth to 18 years of age.

When you arrive at our Salem center, our fully trained staff will greet you and ask some questions to help you obtain the support you need. After this brief meeting, you will be referred to experts who work either on-site at the center or at another location where you will receive assistance.
