There is no health without mental health. The National Institute of Mental Health estimates that about one out of five American adults experiences some form of mental, behavioral or emotional disorder. Disorders can range widely in form and degree. Some have little to no effect on everyday life, while others make it difficult for sufferers to function.

Taking care of your mental health and emotional well-being is a foundational step to being able to live the life you want, and Eskenazi Health is here for you. Regardless of how or where you seek help, trained professionals are available to assist you by connecting you to the care you need. This can be through your primary care provider or through Sandra Eskenazi Mental Health Center, a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic.

Sandra Eskenazi Mental Health Center, Indiana’s first community mental health center, offers strengths-based and family- and community-centered inpatient and outpatient programs that use the Recovery Model of treatment for emotional and behavioral problems, including substance use. Utilizing best practices resulting from ongoing research and medical advancements, care decisions are team-based and emphasize family and patient participation.

Mental health services are also available at Eskenazi Health Center primary care locations through Sandra Eskenazi Mental Health Care with a focus on short-term, solution-focused therapy to support patients ages 6 and up.
