Kyle has worked at Fort Collins Rescue Mission for six years and is the first Executive Director for Pathways of Life Recovery Services, LLC (PLRS), a new subsidiary of Denver Rescue Mission.
What is Pathways of Life Recovery Services, LLC?
We’re in a season of strengthening and restructuring how we deliver care. Essentially, we’re taking all of our clinical services and placing them under a new LLC called Pathways of Life Recovery Services (PLRS), which is working toward licensure through the state of Colorado as a behavioral health entity. We’ve been building toward this for a couple of years, and it’s a big step in aligning with state requirements. This will also improve the quality of care we provide—more licensed staff, stronger clinical oversight and the ability to integrate counseling services more fully into our programs.
How will this benefit those we serve?
It will allow us to build on the strong foundation that already exists within DRM’s various programs. Staff will have access to additional training, support and clinical resources, helping us respond to the increasingly complex needs of the people we serve with more individualized care. Ultimately, we hope this will contribute to strong, lasting outcomes in areas such as sustained sobriety, stability, employment, and long-term success after program completion.
What encourages you most about this shift?
It allows us to continue our mission in a way that is sustainable for the future. We remain a faith-based organization committed to walking alongside people, while also expanding access to clinical expertise and support. The combination of faith, professional care and long term support creates an environment where meaningful transformation can take place.
