Crosswinds Conversations is a segment of a TV Series called Restoring Hope with Crosswinds Counseling. Restoring Hope With Crosswinds Counseling can be viewed in the Indianapolis Area on WHMB40 Thursday nights @ 9:30 pm.
In this week’s episode of Crosswinds Conversations, Curtis Smith interviews Shonna Majors, Executive Director of Brightwood Community Center in Indianapolis. Unfortunately, there was a time during Covid when Brightwood had to shut down, but since then, with the leadership of Shonna, Brightwood’s services have expanded to include after-school tutoring, summer youth camp, parenting enrichment classes, a monthly food pantry, workforce development, and legal services with the goal to “remove barriers for people to be able to move forward.”
Shonna also points out that mental health needs have been brought to the forefront by the pandemic. She believes that the stigma historically associated with counseling has been a barrier for many. She emphasizes that the community’s needs must be met by the community. No one organization can do it all.
