Making Wellness Possible

Barb Tenney

Senior Manager

Barb was invited to Crossroads in 2013 from the ‘group care world,’ to work as a Foster Care Support Worker. In 2014, she transitioned to our Kinnections Respite Program as a team lead, and in 2019, she moved into a supervisory position with our Kinnect Family Program. The primary focus of Barb’s role is to coordinate specialized services for the families and children in this very dynamic program. Barb combines an organized and efficient professional style with a deep passion for working with high-risk youth. Barb has an educational background in psychology and child & youth care, and a post-baccalaureate certificate in Applied Behavioural Analysis.
