My co-worker asked me this morning if I knew anything about an organization called "Pathways". I've never heard of it. But from what he explained it is an organization that offers help to people with self-esteem issues, image problems, people with self destructive behavior etc. The format seems to be like a "life group"/"small group" type thing. His cousin went through the program and "graduated". She went back and has now become a certified "volunteer". The problem ,he said, is she quit her job as a registered nurse to become a Pathways "volunteer". Which according to him is a non-paid position. Didn't tell her husband that she was quitting her job, completely caught him off guard. I did a quick google search and though it isn't mentioned a lot. I did see the term "cult-ish" pop up often enough to get my attention. The one she attends is in Dallas, TX. Maybe Selma has some info on this since this is his part of the woods.
