The 2026 Dirty Dozen List is out — and the findings are deeply concerning for anyone who cares about child safety and survivor well-being.
Each year, the National Center on Sexual Exploitation names 12 mainstream platforms and companies that are enabling sexual abuse and exploitation.
At Crosswind Counseling Center, we see the real human cost of exploitation and online harm in our work with survivors. Awareness is the first step toward protection and healing.
We encourage you to learn more, talk to the young people in your life about online safety, and advocate for better protections.

NCOSE's 2026 Dirty Dozen list calls out platforms like Amazon, TikTok, Grok and more for their role in sexual exploitation. Discover how.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. We honor survivors — those who speak out, those who heal quietly, and everyone in between.

Crosswind Counseling Center provides trauma-informed care for individuals at every stage of their journey. At CCC, our clinicians are trained in trauma-informed care and here to walk alongside you. You are not alone.

Today we celebrate Trans Day of Visibility — a day to honor the resilience, courage, and beauty of transgender and nonbinary people everywhere.

At Crosswind Counseling Center, we are proud to provide gender-affirming care in a space where every person is seen, respected, and valued exactly as they are. Visibility matters. It saves lives.

To our trans and nonbinary clients, friends, and community: we see you. We celebrate you. And we are always in your corner.

🌈 Happy

Do you know when to call 988 vs. 911? 💙

SAMHSA's breakdown is something everyone should have on their radar:

📞 Call 988 for:
• Mental health & substance use support
• Su***de prevention & crisis de-escalation
• Connection to local care & treatment resources

🚨 Call 911 for:
• Medical emergencies
• Fire
• Crime in progress
• Life-threatening situations

The 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline exists so that people in mental health crisis have a dedicated resource — not just a default to emergency dispatch.

Share this with someone who might need it. You never know whose life it could change. 💚
