Join us for True Grit 2023!

This year’s Trailblazers theme is a celebration of 15 women who have dedicated their careers to Third Way Center and .

While a literal trailblazer marks trails and pathways to guide other in the wilderness, our Trailblazers are innovators who have made strides in the field of residential mental health treatment. All areas of our operations are touched by these women, whether it be at the individual houses, at our two schools or in the administrative office. They bring this culture of shared experience into a place that has enabled Third Way Center to grow from one house to eight, from serving 16 teens to over 200 annually. We recognize these women for their combined 434 years of experience and thank them for their commitment.

Our trailblazers theme also speaks to our priority of preparing our teens for life once they leave Third Way. They come to us with a variety of needs for treatment and guidance, many fearful of what lies ahead. They leave us as trailblazers who have overcome these challenges - unafraid and ready to face their new lives. Their experiences help us to continue to create new paths and opportunities for others.
