PATH Pals
PATH Pals is a program created by PATH to help children talk about their feelings in a safe and supportive way. Using puppets and storytelling, the show makes it easier for children to open up about emotions that might otherwise feel overwhelming or scary.
The performances teach children an important lesson: when feelings are mentionable, they become more manageable. Along with the live shows, we also provide resources for parents, caregivers, and teachers. These resources are designed to help adults know what to say when a child shares something difficult, and how to keep that conversation going with care and understanding.
We know that most of us were never taught how to talk with children about things like sadness, anger, or even thoughts of hurting themselves. The PATH Pals toolkit was created to give you simple starting points and practical tools. A preview of the toolkit was released on September 8, 2025 (988 Day), and the full version will be available as the program grows.
If you would like to learn more or schedule a PATH Pals performance for your school or organization, please reach out to us. We would love to share this program with you and the children in your community. You can reach our team by filling out the performance request form.
