“Our vision is to create a future where Indiana youth can receive the right care, at the right time and in the right place for their mental health and substance use disorder needs.”
DETERMINED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
We are determined to reduce the number of youth who are in crisis and who feel suicide is the only option.
#RaiseUp
Parents, you live on the front lines of this conversation. We know it’s difficult to talk about mental health issues and suicide with your kids. But we are here to equip and prepare you to make a potentially life-saving impact on your kids.
#FriendUp
It’s imperative that our youth understand what it means to be a good friend and how to help their peers when they see someone they care about struggling with their mental health.
#LevelUp
We also need to increase the capability of our health care providers to respond to youth and their mental health struggles quickly and effectively.

The Talk is never easy. But we have your back with plenty of resources and expertise to make your job just a little easier.
