Advocacy It was a bleak outlook for any family and yet a brutal reality for many.

Our History

There was a time when families with children considered “different” had few options for how to raise them. Society’s dictate was a big brick building—an institution where children and adults with disabilities would live out their lives—isolated from family and community. It not only separated them. It denied the rest of us the richness of growing up in a world that celebrated our differences along with our commonality. Then the turbulent era of the 1960s and 70s arrived with its promise of civil rights for all citizens—black, white, with disabilities, young, old—all citizens. That promise imbedded itself into the American conscience. Parents had a new awareness of possibilities—dreams of integration for their children—living at home with family, being part of neighborhood schools, attending church, going to summer camp with friends and growing up to work at gainful employment. A simple dream for a valued life. A group of those courageous New Hampshire parents fought for their children—and in 1979 Region 10 Community Support Services was established. Our name has changed to Community Crossroads—the essence of our mission remains the same. We work to support the integrity of the family and full integration in our southern NH communities. Community Crossroads is a nonprofit agency guided by families and governed by a volunteer board of parents, local citizens, and community members. We provide Guidance, Support and Advocacy for individuals with developmental disabilities, adults with acquired brain disorders, individuals in need of long-term supports due to age or disability—as well as their families and caregivers. Community Crossroads believes everyone deserves~

🕯️ Lights for Dignity: Candlelight Vigil 🕯️

Community Crossroads joins CSNI, ABLE NH, and People First of NH in remembering members of our community who have passed away and in standing up for dignity, safety, and justice for all people with disabilities.

Every life deserves respect. Disability is not the problem — systems that fail to protect people are.

📅 January 17
⏰ 4:30–5:00 PM
📍 NH Statehouse

This candlelight vigil is a time to honor lives lost, support those still at risk, and stand with people with disabilities and the direct support professionals who provide critical care every day.

✨ Silence allows harm to continue. Advocacy matters.
Nothing about us without us.
