Since 2003, Pathway Family Services, Inc. (Pathway) has been providing services for youth and families through its TRAIL program, Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility, and specialized foster care services.

In 2007 Pathway secured its child placing agency license through the Kansas Department of Health and Environment to provide family foster care. Also in 2007, Pathway implemented its independent living program, Teens Reaching Adult Independent Living (TRAIL) in Wichita and Topeka.
