Welcome to Crossroad Women and Family Services.
We'd like to share with some exciting news.
Serving Women and Children for 21 years
Crossroad Women and Family Services celebrated its 21st year anniversary August 2025.
We have been honored to serve. As you know there comes a time in life that transitions happen.
If you've read any one of my books, it's likely that you have heard me talk about "TRANSITIONS".
Transitions bring about something some people don't like and it's called, "CHANGE". As you know whether we like it or not it's inevitable.
I am entering a new phase in my work. I was called to human services, social justice, victims services and advocacy with a greater purpose.
For 21 years I have served victims and survivors, women and children, disabled and aging, justice-involved and incarcerated.
I have authored a few books, hosted a TV show, produced a counseling radio show and most recently a NEW podcast.
I have engaged tools that were made available to me and learned how to pivot in 2020 to continue this work.
Would you consider making a $21 donation to help celebrate 21 years of community-service?
Those who benefit from what we do are people trying find work, keep their families housed, their marriages healthy and their children safe.
At times we've all needed help due to a trial, job loss, divorce, death of a loved one, addiction, incarceration or some other traumatic situation.
Have you ever needed someone to be a VOICE and speak up when people remained silent? That's our "WHY". Needs are greater now.
If you'd like to make a donation, please feel free to any of the following methods that you prefer.
