Crosswinds has been awarded a $75,000 grant by the K21 Health Foundation to provide affordable in-home counseling services to the residents of Kosciusko County.

Crosswinds is a non-profit organization that helps families struggling with a variety of issues, ranging from help for a troubled teenager, a suffering marriage, communication problems, trauma, grief, adoption issues, or other emotional and mental health issues. Their counseling services are home-based, which means one of their clinicians comes to the client’s home to conduct the therapy session.

This home-based approach allows Crosswinds’ clients to maintain privacy and also helps Crosswinds therapists facilitate change as they work with families in their most comfortable environment.

“Families avoid counseling and therapy for two reasons,” Crosswinds VP of Family Services, David Long states. “First, they are embarrassed to ask for help and second, many lack the financial means to pay. By partnering with the K21 Health Foundation, we reduce these obstacles. I am excited to assist families in my hometown of Warsaw and the surrounding communities within Kosciusko County.”

The grant from the K21 Health Foundation will allow Crosswinds to offer their in-home counseling services to Kosciusko County residents at a reduced rate in cases of financial need. “K21 is excited to partner with Crosswinds in the initial start-up of this initiative. I believe that preventative programs like this will foster resilience and coping strategies for our at-risk youth,” said K21 Director Dr. Kevin Roberts. “This initiative will provide much needed support to many Kosciusko youth and families who may typically go unnoticed.”
