Independent Facilitator and Founder of True Choice Pathways

Meet Bernadette “Bernie” Broach

I founded True Choice Pathways because I believe every individual deserves to be heard, respected, and supported in building a meaningful life.

Before working in developmental disability services, I spent years as a corporate litigation paralegal, where I developed strong skills in organization, communication, documentation, and navigating complex systems.

This work is also deeply personal to me. During a major career change, my son, who has a disability, encouraged me by saying, “Mom, get a job working with people. You are good with people.” His words stayed with me and helped guide me toward this path.

Today, through True Choice Pathways, I support adults 18 and older and their families as they navigate California’s Self-Determination Program. My goal is to make the process more understandable, organized, and centered on the participant’s voice, choices, and goals.

 For me, this work is both a professional commitment and a personal mission. 

Your Life. Your Choice. Your Direction.
