The PATHS® program is designed to be taught by preschool and elementary school teachers and generalized throughout the school day with administrative support.  The PATHS® program concepts can be used by all staff in the school including principals, guidance counselors, and support staff.  The research leading to the recognition of PATHS® as a research-based program was conducted in school settings.  However, the program is flexible and can be adapted to alternative settings, including non-school programs.
