About this employer
Working at Paving the Way Multi-Service Institute
Paving the Way Multi-Service Institute (PTW-MSI), established in 2015 in Washington, DC, is a community-based behavioral health provider delivering trauma-informed, evidence-based mental health services to youth, families, and individuals across the District of Columbia and surrounding communities.
Our mission is to empower individuals to become self-sufficient and productive members of their communities through innovative, accessible behavioral health services rooted in clinical excellence and community partnership.
PTW-MSI specializes in:
• Victims of Crime (VOC) behavioral health services
• DC MAP care coordination and referral support
• School-based mental health programming
• Fee-for-service outpatient clinical treatment
• Community outreach, prevention, and psychoeducation initiatives
We focus on reducing barriers to care by meeting individuals where they are — whether in schools, community spaces, or through coordinated referral systems. Our trauma-informed framework ensures services are culturally responsive, developmentally appropriate, and aligned with the unique needs of the populations we serve.
Through strategic partnerships with schools, government agencies, civic organizations, and local community stakeholders, PTW-MSI works to strengthen family wellness, increase access to behavioral health services, and improve long-term mental health outcomes.
We are guided by our commitment to Excellent Care Everywhere — ensuring quality, accountability, and community impact remain central to everything we do.
