Centerstone of Indiana

Child community basedcenterstone has a special approach to helping children overcome behavioral health challenges. Our staff work with children, adolescents, and their families to assess their situation, taking stock of their strengths and needs in order to develop individualized treatment plans to address the issues at hand. By teaming with families, schools and communities, we build a network of healing. Services include individual, group and family counseling in clinic, school, home, and community settings, life skills training, psychiatric evaluation and medication management, care coordination. Our services provide the client and their family an opportunity to help all members of the family succeed and to establish and maintain a happier and healthier home life. The treatment team provides family-centered, culturally competent services individualized according to the strengths and needs of each child and his/her family.

Medicalour team of medical service providers includes psychiatrists, primary care physicians, nurse practitioners, psychologists, nurses and medical assistants. They oversee the treatment plans for all cin patients, provide psychiatric evaluations, provide primary care services, manage medications, medical education, and consult with the clinical teams. They provided 24-7 back-up to our crisis team.

Adult community basedcenterstone provides a full continuum of behavioral health services to address the mental health and substance use problems that adults and their families may be experiencing. We work collaboratively with the individual, their family members, family doctors, and others that our client believe would support their recovery. We offer intensive residential and outpatient treatment, recovery and health coaching, life skills training, peer supports, individual, couple, family, and group counseling in our clinics or in community or home settings. Crisis intervention, employment support, engagement centers, care coordination, and psychosocial education are also available to support the healing and recovery process.

Expanding crisis services continuum. This year, Centerstone was awarded a $5 million, two-year federal grant to expand and improve upon our response to crisis. In this first year we have been able to establish a rapid clinical response team to ensure ready access to care, have trained all staff doing crisis work in the relate model for suicide prevention. We have extended funding for our current crisis diversion center (stride) in bloomington and began planning for a second crisis diversion center in columbus. We have begun our regional mobile crisis team development and work, and developed numerous community partnerships across the ten south central Indiana counties we will be serving with this award. School-based services in Indiana expanded 173% across the state, with new and expanding needs for school-aged children, their families, and teachers. We worked with the Indiana state legislature and family and social services administration to return access to telehealth services by expanding rules to include both licensed and non-licensed behavioral health providers.we implemented a new life-skills training curriculum, co-developed with our research institute team, based on the best evidence based practices and built around the most prevalent and emerging needs of our adult and child consumers. Over the course of the year we trained over 500 staff in how to use the tools as well as clinical supervisors on key element of the practice model for this work. We now incorporate this training into our new employee on-boarding process.this year we had our triannual carf (commission on the accreditation of rehabilitation facilities) review and received a full three-year accreditation. The review team noted our focus on client independence and autonomy, our extraordinary engagement strategies, our effective and collaborative school-based services program, outstanding training for trauma work, and exceptional risk-management practices.
