Centerstone

A community resource available for individuals who require daytime shelter and may be experiencing or at risk of homelessness. We provide support for accessing housing through various programs. Additionally, we offer assistance to community members dealing with substance abuse disorders and mental health challenges, facilitating access to treatment. Participation in Centerstone programs is not a requirement, but we encourage individuals to consider it.

Our services extend to aiding with applications for food stamps and health insurance, as well as connecting individuals with primary care doctors. Weekly job assistance is provided through Drive Staffing for employment opportunities. Qualifying individuals can receive free government phones through our Thursday sign-up sessions. In our new facility, washers are available for those needing to launder clothes. Referrals are also provided for showers at the neighboring Stride Center during our operational hours.

With specially trained crisis counselors, we are available 24 hours per day to support and respond to you, your family and friends who are experiencing a mental health crisis. Centerstone’s Crisis Call Center provides confidential, urgent mental health and crisis counseling by telephone, enhanced follow-up care, and resources for accessing needed services and support.

Counseling, also known as therapy, is one of the simplest ways to achieve a happier, healthier you. When you meet with a clinician for counseling, you’ll have the opportunity to speak openly about any challenges you may be having. Together, you and your counselor will work to build a plan and identify the tools to help you tackle any issues and get you back to being your full self.
Services include individual, group, and family counseling.

The STRIDE Center is a crisis diversion program serving residents of Bartholomew and surrounding counties who are experiencing mental health crises or related challenges. An alternative to jail, Centerstone’s Stride Center allows adults 18 and over experiencing mental health or substance use crises to immediately connect with trained professionals who can deescalate their situation, provide one-on-one consultation, and connect them to necessary community resources, such as housing, peer support, residential treatment, food, and clothing.

Additionally, the Stride Center offers a mobile crisis response component, allowing trained staff to be deployed into the community to triage individuals in crisis and create safety plans for their unique circumstances.
