Kersten brings her experience with children and families. She has been a great asset for our clients.  

“Hi, I’m Kersten. I believe in the power and possibilities that reside within people. I also believe that people who have struggled through life for various reasons can change their lives for the better. Sometimes people need a change of perspective, a supportive advocate, and a knowledgeable teacher.

Throughout my personal work experience and educational career, I have discovered a love for serving individuals, children, and families by empowering them to be the best version of who they were designed to be. My experiences have led me to understand that building relationships, fostering communication, providing real life strategies, and promoting information can often change an individual’s outlook on life. I strive to use my career, education, gifts, and talents to empower others, and equip them for a life well lived. I look forward to meeting you!” 

Kara has been a part of Crosspointe since November 2022. She helps our clients part-time in the after-school hours.

“I lived half my childhood in the deep South by the ocean, and the other half just off a reservation in the high desert mountains. I moved to Idaho in my early 20's & love it here. I love the outdoors & thrive on setting myself new challenges & learning new things. I have a Master's in education which has allowed me to work with children for more than 20 yrs. I believe that we can all improve, grow from our mistakes, and learn something new regardless of our age, our past or our current limitations.”

Juliana joined Crosspointe to help our community and clients. She is eager to assist her clients in their CBRS or Case Management needs.

 "Hi, I'm Juliana and I joined Crosspointe in January of 2023. I became a Case Manager, Targeted Care Coordinator and CBRS Provider because I love helping people of all ages. My passion for helping and supporting people came at a young age. I am motivated and committed to assisting clients in developing healthier and more positive life choices. I will advocate for my clients to ensure that they receive the care they need to see growth and progress.  I look forward to helping you meet your goals." 

Jane has been a part of Crosspointe for over 10 years. Her ability to support and encourage her clients makes her invaluable.

“I became a peer support worker because I wanted to be the light at the end of the tunnel; to spark hope in people ready to live in wellness. To be the hand to reach down and help you when you fell like you have no one who understands.

Living in recovery/wellness to me, means learning how to deal with the ups and downs, the good and the bad, the back and forth dance we call life. It is making choices and continuing to work on yourself and believe in yourself no matter the weather. It is about being accountable and responsible for yourself. Recovery is about weathering the storm and coming through a better, more confident you.

I empower my peers by encouraging self-love and positive self-talk. Helping you to love yourself even in the moments you don't feel lovable; all while sharing lived experience through these moments with you, building trust and active listening to provide hope, instead of answers.” 

Sarah joined us in December 2021. She is friendly and ready to help.

“Hi, I’m Sarah and mental health recovery is my jam. 

I became a peer support specialist because of the challenges I faced while navigating my own recovery journey. I remember feeling very hopeless and alone, like no one could possibly understand what I was experiencing. I felt judged and criticized and horribly let down by those who claimed they could help. I thought it was just the way it was and assumed that I was beyond all hope. 

I’m incredibly grateful that I was wrong. 

The turning point of my recovery was both life changing and life-saving. It began when another human was able to see me beyond my extreme symptoms and circumstances. This person reflected my worth to me at a time when I felt more worthless than I ever had. They showed me acceptance and compassion at a time when I couldn’t accept myself or the things I had done. In doing this they created a crack in me just big enough for hope to get in. Once I found hope, self-love and self-acceptance began to fundamentally change the way I interacted with my life and others. And I’m still learning and growing. 

This is the experience I hope to offer those I serve. 

As a peer support I spend my days watching people come alive. I help them shed layers of stigma and judgment and offer encouragement and support as they step into themselves, fully, authentically and unapologetically. 

It’s on this walk toward recovery, together, that we gain strength, it’s on this walk that we experience what it means to belong.”

Angel began supporting and empowering our clients in May 2022. 

“Peer support brings companionship, and compassion. I share my own life experiences, struggles, triumphs, and share my own mental health journey with you. Together we can reduce your isolation, anxiety and daily stressors, and find success in your goals. I have found significant success dealing with my complex PTSD and social anxiety by utilizing coping skills and realizing how important my natural and professional supports are to having a healthy and productive lifestyle. Hope for the future and realizing that we matter in the world is dependent on who we surround ourselves with. I want to share this with you. Recovery is possible. Peer Support offers the opportunity to have someone in your corner, a sounding board, an outlet that is non-judgement and a safe place in your own home and in the community. We can share this journey together.”
