Faithful Path is not a crisis service

Faithful Path does not provide emergency care, crisis intervention, or around-the-clock monitoring. Messages sent through this website, program portals, or email are not monitored continuously and must never be used to report an emergency.

What a coach will do

If a coach becomes aware that a participant may be in danger, the coach will stop the coaching agenda, stay present with the person as far as possible, and direct them to emergency services or a licensed professional. Coaches are required to act on safety concerns rather than keep them private.

Limits of confidentiality

  • A clear risk of harm to yourself or another person
  • Suspected abuse or neglect of a child, elder, or dependent adult, which we are required to report
  • A valid legal order requiring disclosure

Working alongside professionals

Faithful Path is glad to walk with participants who are also under the care of a physician, therapist, psychiatrist, or other licensed professional. Coaching supports that care; it never replaces it, and we will never encourage anyone to stop treatment or medication.
