A LITTLE ABOUT US
Founded in 2009, Granite Pathways began as a grass-roots initiative that introduced the "clubhouse" model in New Hampshire.

Today, we are a statewide, multi-faceted organization that provides an array of services for those struggling with mental health issues or substance use disorders. Our mission is to help individuals achieve their life goals and see themselves as valued members of their community.
