NEW BOOK TO BENEFIT CHILDREN’S HOME OF POUGHKEEPSIE

David A. Crenshaw, Ph.D., ABPP has written a book of poetry and prose to benefit the Children’s Home of Poughkeepsie. The new 57-page book, A Place of Healing and Hope speaks eloquently of the mission of the Home and the challenges faced by both the children who are placed there due to abuse and neglect, and the staff who work to help them heal. Whimsical stories and eloquent artwork by some of the children and anecdotes by staff members are included with Dr. Crenshaw’s inspiring poetry and articulate commentary.

An excerpt from one of the poems, “Honoring Our Unsung Heroes” reads:

“…When children who’ve missed out on the “goodies” of life raise money for the SPCA,

When countless children and teens bear immense suffering with dignity and courage,

When an enraged youth refuses to come inside and his peer brings him a blanket and sandwich, these are our unsung heroes.”

Dr. Crenshaw currently serves as Clinical Director at the Children’s Home of Poughkeepsie. He is the Director and Founder of the Rhinebeck Child and Family Center, LLC, a private practice serving children and families and also providing training and consultation to agencies serving at-risk children. He has written numerous books on play therapy and child psychology. He served for many years as Clinical Director at the Astor Home for Children and continues to serve as an officer on their Board. Dr. Crenshaw is also a Faculty Associate of Johns Hopkins University.

A Place of Healing and Hope is available for $10 through the Children’s Home, 10 Children’s Way, off Fulton Street in the Town of Poughkeepsie, or by calling Cindy LaPaitra at the Home: 845-452-1420 x122. The book can be mailed for a total cost of $15, charged to a credit card. All proceeds from the book will support the work of the Children’s Home.

The new book will also be available for sale at the upcoming Margaret G. Race Award’s Reception at Dutchess Golf & Country Club on October 14. Proceeds from this annual event go toward improved recreational facilities and programs for the children. For details and reservations contact Cindy LaPaitra at the number above.
