Since 1973, Crossroads CSB has provided community-based behavioral health services to individuals and families across Amelia, Buckingham, Charlotte, Cumberland, Lunenburg, Nottoway, and Prince Edward counties. Crossroads Community Services Board was organized in 1973 as a cooperative venture among the counties of Amelia, Buckingham, Charlotte, Cumberland, Lunenburg, Nottoway and Prince Edward. The Services Board, governing body over the agency's programs, consists of representatives appointed by the Board of Supervisors in each county and includes elected officials, individuals receiving services and family and community members. The focus of Crossroads is to prevent and treat the occurrence of mental illnesses, intellectual disabilities, substance abuse and co-occurring disorders and to enhance the functioning of individuals and families who experience those conditions. The individual participates in a service system based on the principles of recovery. All programs and services use the recovery model in which peer support and participation are essential elements. Funding that supports the service delivery system comes from a variety of sources, including state, local and federal governments, as well as fees for services (over 75% of revenue). Contributions to the agency, which is organized as a public nonprofit organization, are tax deductible and represent special revenue that directly benefits individuals receiving services.
