Community Support: Youth

Supporting youth takes a village! Through community partnerships and collaborative programs, Adult & Child Health empowers youth by connecting them with trusted adults, essential services, and timely crisis intervention when needed.

Community mental health services help young people get support close to home, in places they know and feel comfortable. This makes it easier for them to get help, stay connected with others, and stick with their treatment. These services also respect different cultures and backgrounds, which helps more people feel understood and supported. In the long run, they help youth feel better and live healthier, happier lives.

High Fidelity Wraparound is an evidence-based, team-driven process that supports youth with serious mental health or behavior challenges. A team of family, friends, professionals, and community members works together to create a personalized care plan based on the child’s needs and strengths. Eligible youth must be 6–17 years old, live in the community, have Indiana Medicaid, and have two qualifying mental health diagnoses. Click here to learn more.
