Mental Health America of Indiana

Mental Health America of Indiana (MHAI) is Indiana’s leading mental health and substance use advocacy organization, dedicated to providing overall mental wellness and recovery for all Hoosiers through education, advocacy, policy development, and direct treatment services. Tracing its roots to the national Mental Health America founded in 1909 by Clifford W. Beers to combat maltreatment of those with mental illnesses, MHAI's mission is to work for Indiana’s mental health and victory over mental illness by reducing barriers to wellness and fostering partnerships with stakeholders. As a non-profit, MHAI operates programs like the Life Recovery Center, an outpatient facility accredited by CARF and certified by Indiana’s Division of Mental Health and Addiction, specializing in treating problem gaming, substance use, and mental health issues for adolescents, adults, and families. Life Recovery Center promotes growth, respect, and integrity by offering comprehensive, evidence-based services including individual, group, family, and telehealth counseling; trauma-informed care; art therapy; peer recovery coaching; and court-ordered interventions such as substance use assessments, anger management, and batterers intervention programs. Their holistic approach addresses psychological, emotional, social, familial, spiritual, and trauma-related aspects, serving diverse populations including the underserved, justice-involved individuals, and those in recovery, with a focus on long-term sobriety, community reintegration, and equitable access to care through accepted insurances, Medicaid for groups, and programs like Recovery Works.
