Summary
CrossWinds Counseling reported serving 242 Wabaunsee County clients in 2025, including 66 uninsured and 24 jail-related clients, described a Mobile Crisis Response Team and asked for a $55,500 county appropriation plus a third of liquor-tax proceeds for 2027.
Amanda Cunningham, CEO of CrossWinds Counseling & Wellness, reported that CrossWinds served 242 Wabaunsee County clients in 2025, 66 of whom were uninsured; 24 clients were served in jail settings and four were involuntary screenings. Cunningham outlined services including substance-abuse screenings, counseling and a Mobile Crisis Response Team and noted that Corner House, acquired in 2024, served four county residents in 2025.
CrossWinds formally requested a 2027 appropriation of $55,500 in addition to one‑third of the county's liquor-tax dollars to support uninsured and underinsured clients. The minutes record Cunningham's appreciation for local volunteer board members Nancy Hier and Jessica Freeman.
No formal appropriation vote is recorded for June 1; the request will be considered through the county budget process.
