About

For over 50 years, Crosswinds Youth Services, Inc. (“Crosswinds”) has been serving youth and families of Brevard County.  Starting from humble beginnings on Merritt Island, to our current modern Cocoa based campus, our doors have been open, and our lights on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a week, without fail to fulfill our mission to provide a safe, caring and welcoming place for youth in need.

Each year Crosswinds serves hundreds of families and at-risk youth through multiple programs designed to strengthen families and offer young people the support, skills and opportunities they need to succeed.   In Brevard County, many of these services are unique to Crosswinds, and we help fill an important and otherwise unmet need for youth who are in crisis, families that are struggling to manage difficult behavioral issues, and to law enforcement officers that find themselves in the middle of critical family situations.  Crosswinds is a strong community based resource, and we stand ready to help.  Any day, any time!
