What Crossroad is: Crossroad is a not-for-profit organization consisting of a team of counselors, teachers, therapists,
housekeepers, cooks, groundskeepers, chaplains, nurses and others providing treatment for emotionally troubled children and
their families both living on campus and in the community. We make religious life opportunities available to each child through
weekly worship in our chapel and/or at the family's chosen place of worship in the community. Throughout the year, special
activities and events are planned around religious holidays and observances.
Crossroad’s Mission: Crossroad creates promising futures for children in difficult circumstances by providing therapy,
education and family support services.
