Mental Health America of NWI

Mental Health America of Northwest Indiana is a non-profit organization dedicated to overall wellness through personal and family support, while remaining committed to our core principle of advocating on behalf of those experiencing emotional challenges. We lead from a foundation built on prevention and empowerment of vulnerable adults and children, through education, referral, and advocacy.

We believe building Protective Factors supports the overall well-being of children and their families. The Protective Factors framework is a research-driven approach developed by the Center for the Study of Social Policy. This two-generation approach addresses issues related to the parent, the child, and the parent-child relationship and serves as a buffer to help families cope, achieve, and thrive, even during times of stress.
