Knowing as many as 1 in 4 people struggle with a mental health condition, HopeWay’s founding board was committed to making evidence-based treatment more accessible. HopeWay opened in 2016 to fill the gap in the continuum of care between hospitalization and individual outpatient care. Prior to HopeWay, anyone in the Charlotte area needing more comprehensive treatment  had to travel out-of-state to one of the few primary mental health facilities in the U.S. Since opening, HopeWay has served thousands of clients from across the nation through an integrated, proven model, helping people learn the skills necessary to live productive and meaningful lives. Seeing additional need in the community, HopeWay expanded services to offer evidence-based treatment for Veterans with PTSD, and opened an outpatient clinic, HopeWay Psychiatry and Associates, serving children, adolescents, and adults. On a daily basis, HopeWay clients return to school, work, and their families with a renewed sense of hope and strength, and the ability to navigate their life while effectively managing their mental health. Further growth and expansion to meet the growing mental health needs of children and adolescents is on the horizon.
