What NewPath Child & Family Solutions. does

NewPath Child & Family Solutions is a private, 501(c)(3) nonprofit behavioral health and educational treatment agency headquartered at 4721 Reading Road in Cincinnati, Ohio. Founded on October 1, 1829 by the Sisters of Charity as St. Joseph Orphanage and rebranded to its present name on June 17, 2021, the organization operates a continuum of care that includes outpatient mental health, residential treatment, foster care and foster-to-adopt, special education and day treatment (anchored by the NewPath Academy K-12 charter school), medication management, experiential learning programs such as NYPUM, and a portfolio of young adult transitional services (My First Place, Independent Living Services, JOURNEY Housing, and the Ohio Bridges Provider program). It serves nearly 5,000 children and families annually across 10 Southwest Ohio counties through three campuses — Cincinnati (Hamilton County), Dayton (Montgomery County), and Fairfield (Butler County) — with additional embedded delivery inside K-12 schools, area hospitals, and community centers.

Service delivery rests on three evidence-based frameworks adopted organization-wide: the Trauma-Informed Care Model (anchored in 2015), the Transition to Independence Process (TIP) Model for transition-age youth, and the Positive Behavior Support Model for educational settings. The operational technology stack is utilitarian — electronic health records, telehealth (introduced in 2020 during COVID-19), and a HIPAA-compliant centralized referral system accessible by phone, fax, email, and secure online form — with no disclosed AI/ML components, proprietary models, or research pipeline. Specialized infrastructure includes a 40-acre East Campus with an outdoor classroom, multiple community-based apartment properties for youth housing, and the region's first facility-based secure Crisis Stabilization Unit.

Revenue is generated primarily through government contracts and Medicaid reimbursement — Hamilton County Job & Family Services, Hamilton County Mental Health and Recovery Services Board, Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (Bridges), and OhioMHAS — supplemented by philanthropic donations, corporate giving, planned giving, and signature fundraising events (Heart & Hope Gala, Louie's Holiday Market). The organization employs 101–250 staff, first earned national CARF accreditation in 2005, and is led by CEO Eric Cummins (since 2014), CFO John Colegrove (since 2015), COO Tricia Mullins, and CMO Dr. Joe Rieman. Go-to-market is referral-led, driven by school districts, hospitals, social workers, and county agencies channeling clients into NewPath's intake system.
