About Crossroads Agapé
Crossroads Agapé is a safe community offering a path towards holistic healing and restoration for survivors of childhood sexual abuse, exploitation, addiction, and poverty;providing education & training, life skills, work experience, and healing centered engagement.
Our mission grew out of our family’s personal experiences with trauma and abuse.
Our mission grew out of our family’s personal experience of living with an undiagnosed trauma survivor who has battled severe effects of that trauma throughout childhood that linger to this day. After a decade of actively seeking answers for her significant struggles and health issues, it was SHE who broke her chains of terror and silence in 2016 to reclaim her voice and her power. She is surviving. We are surviving. But so many still suffer in silence.
Looking back over all of our efforts the past years, we knew that there needed to be some significant and sweeping change in not only identifying trauma and providing trauma sensitive care, but also in educating the public, increasing focused outreach efforts, and implementing effective victim advocacy to begin to serve survivors in the comprehensive way they deserve. We feel that we have an unwavering obligation to extend the Grace, Love, and Support that our family has been given to crawl out of this darkness that was forced upon us, to those who do not have access to the same.
