Thank you for visiting Crossroad Women and Family Services home on the web. We are delighted that you have stopped by. I love the fall season. November is here, leaves are falling and the season is changing.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! If you will be celebrating a wedding anniversary, birthday, new job, birth of a child or starting your own  business.

Special days of observance in the month of November:

**November 8th- Election Day

Even in challenging times all over the world we have so many things to be grateful for. This season we will be sharing "Baskets of HOPE" with single parent households. Consider partnering with us to bring HOPE and help to low-income single parent households and children of incarcerated parents this Thanksgiving Holiday and Christmas Season.

I'm honored to lead a new counseling school in partnership with 

the Sarasota Academy of Christian Counselors (S.A.C.C.) a nationally recognized school with advanced courses, specialized training,  credentialing, licensing and professional level memberships. We're dedicated to preparing counselors /coaches to fulfill their life's work.

In education? We're still training teachers, teacher aides, school counselors, social workers, after-school program staff in school and youth violence prevention. Contact us today to learn how you can join other educators and be equipped to become a school safety advocate.

Every life matters. Let's get to the other side. Let's keep helping each other. Let's work to create change and healing in the community.
