Crittenton Celebrates Graduates Services de santé de Genève, Inc. is celebrating graduation and educational achievement this week. The ceremony will be held at Bridge Street Middle School on Thursday, May 23. Two young ladies have received their GED's from Crittenton's program, two graduated high school and three others were promoted from eighth to ninth grades. "Many of our girls are so far behind in school when they arrive at our facility. We want to encourage them to succeed in the classroom and eventually move on to college. Education is a key part of their healing process and breaking the cycle of abuse and neglect," said Kathy Szafran, Crittenton's President and CEO. The Crittenton Residential program helps females aged 12 through 18 with behavioral health services as well as a variety of life skills to promote self-sufficiency. Among the most critical components of the program is education, and in partnership with Ohio County Schools, Crittenton offers a full time on-site school with certified teachers. Crittenton also offers a GED program. Ohio County Schools' Superintendent Dr. Dianna Vargo will attend, handing out certificates of achievement. The celebration will include food, music and academic achievement awards. The Crittenton Cares Volunteer Group will provide the cake. Food is provided by Generations, The Ye Olde Alpha and Undo's. Crittenton also operates Wellspring Family Services, an outpatient counseling service available in 18 counties, with five offices in Wheeling, Weirton, New Martinsville, Parkersburg and Morgantown. Wellspring Family Services is currently serving more than 550 children, families and individuals. Crittenton's Cradles to Crayons Child Care Center offers child care for infants and toddlers at its Elm Grove and Wheeling Park High School sites. Cradles to Crayons also offers before and after care services at Woodsdale, Steenrod and Middlecreek Elementary schools and the universal pre-k program at Middle Creek Elementary.
