 Greetings!
Happy Summer! Here in Maine, Memorial Day is typically the unofficial start to summer. We hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend and were able to thank a veteran for his service. At Crossroads, we have expanded services to veterans with the help of a clinician who is a veteran himself. We are also excited about new family programming at Crossroads being offered to outpatient clients.
We'd like to welcome our two newest members to the Crossroads Board of Directors - Tim Sample and Meredith Hamer. Meredith is a licensed clinical social worker in private practice. Tim is a humorist, author, illustrator and former senior correspondent for CBS News Sunday Morning. Happy to have you, Meredith and Tim!

Chuck Schneider, LCSW, C-CATODSW is a member of Crossroads outpatient clinical team. He is also a veteran. Chuck works with vets individually in his private practice and now treats this population at Crossroads.
As Chuck says, "It is an honor to work with my fellow soldiers, sailors, marines, airmen, and coast guardsmen. They bring a unique perspective to the work, and I am privileged to serve them."
Chuck truly loves working with veterans. He explains that they are "generally motivated, understand and take direction well, and want to get better."
Values are key to working with the veteran population, something we often talk about but truly do not understand. Unless we've been there. Crossroads is happy to have Chuck as part of the clinical team to serve those veterans in need of counseling in our Scarborough office.
To set up an appointment with Chuck, please call 207.773.9931

New Family Programming for Crossroads IOP and Outpatient Clients
 Crossroads clinical director, Shannon Trainor, recently had the opportunity to observe the family workshop program at Caron Renaissance Center in Boca Raton, Florida. Their program focuses on family and client as a unit and stresses the importance of being involved as a family in treatment.
While Crossroads has had family programming in place for its residential services, we have been looking to expand this programming for outpatient services. We recently started a family program for Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) clients and their families with the help of Howland Bickerstaff. New to our clinical staff, Howland will be running the family program Monday evenings once per month for Crossroads IOP clients.
The family program will involve clients and family members and include education on the disease of addiction, the family's role, relapse prevention, and keeping themselves (both clients and family members) healthy. We are working on expanding it to all Crossroads outpatient clients in the future.
