Lisa Weldon, of Portland, is the vice president of sales at HealthVerity, where she works in data analytics and healthcare improvement. She has been involved with Crossroads for 10 years as a board member. In her words:

"I volunteer on the Crossroads' board because I believe that substance abuse and behavioral health issues are not well understood by the general public. For some patients and their families, there is still a stigma associated with the diagnoses and treatment of these conditions, often resulting in delays to seek treatment. By volunteering with Crossroads, I hope to promote the mission of the organization across Maine - to help people receive appropriate and timely treatment."

The Crossroads board of directors is a volunteer group dedicated to helping women and men conquer substance abuse and mental health issues, while working to eliminate barriers surrounding treatment access and reducing the stigma associated with addiction. If you are interested in finding out more about joining our board, please contact Emily Semenchuk. 

You are invited to join us at our 2nd Annual Community Awards Breakfast to honor community members who have unselfishly committed themselves to heighten awareness, promote prevention or deliver treatment as an alternative to the pain of addiction to alcohol and other drugs. 

Our keynote speaker is Bud S., a dedicated community service leader from New Hampshire who specializes in helping friends and families of alcoholics.

Clients in Crossroads' CAMP program receive a donation from UNE's School of Pharmacy

Led by Lydia Kouletsis, the students of UNE's School of Pharmacy recently held a fundraising drive to collect items for Crossroads' Children and Mothers Program (CAMP) in Windham. 

The students collected baby clothes, blankets, pacifiers and one huge box of diapers. The students individually wrapped each diaper and included handwritten notes of congratulations and encouragement for the young mothers at CAMP. Also included with the diapers were printed recommendations for childhood vaccination dates and nutritional guidelines for new mothers to help combat postpartum depression.

Thank you to all the students at UNE's School of Pharmacy for their thoughtfulness and kind consideration. Supporters like you are truly making a difference in our clients' lives!
