CROSS ROADS YOUTH CARE

Cross Roads is an eight bed, twenty four-hour treatment residence located in Edmonton for youth with long term care needs. Cross Roads will focus primarily on education, counselling, cultural involvement and involving each youth in a community activity... This will be accomplished by working with a variety of organizations and resources to reconnect our aboriginal children with their heritage. Community outings will be incorporated into programming for cultural activities. Daily smudges and ceremonies such as Round Dances and Sweats will be an integral part of programming for the promotion of healing and strengthening as well as to empower the youth to focus on a healthy body, mind and spirit.
