Equipping through education while caring for hearts and minds.
Be part of our mission to provide a compassion care for mental health along with rigorous education.
The Reality
78% of young people ages 11-17 who took MHA’s depression screen scored positive for moderate to severe depression.
In the 2024-2025 school year, public schools reported that on average 18% of students utilized school-based mental health services. Additionally, 58% of schools reported that the number of students who sought school-based mental health services increased since the prior school year. Similarly, there was a 61% increase from the 2023-2024 school year to the 2024-2025 school year in concerns expressed by staff about students exhibiting depression, anxiety, trauma, or emotional dysregulation/disturbance.
With your help, Center Cross Academy can provide compassionate counseling through Crossroads Counseling to help students heal and find freedom.
