Eckerd Connects Pathways

Eckerd Connects’ Pathways provides community integrated services for youth between the ages of 11 through 19 who reside in Hillsborough, Lee, Manatee, Pasco, Osceola, Sarasota and St. Lucie counties in Florida’s Central and South Regions. Youth must have been placed on probation or minimum risk commitment and assessed as moderate-high or high-risk to re-offend to be eligible for services.  Referrals accepted through the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) probation or the court system.

Eckerd Connects’ Pathways fully integrates WrapAround (WA) case planning, case management and a strong diverse group of committed stakeholders in each service area to ensure we have a strong WA team in each county. This program is designed to develop competencies while providing each youth with the tools to begin their process of change and be successful long after completion of services.
