Along with Recovery Month, the IAIC also recognizes September as Su***de Awareness Month. 💜

As a program under the MHA Indy Pillar of Mental Health America of Indiana, our team is proud to support the Indy LOSS Team — Local Outreach to Su***de Survivors — with some of our team serving as dedicated volunteers in this vital effort.

We remain committed to providing ongoing support for all who are navigating recovery. This month, and every month, we honor the resilience of our peers and the essential role of connection, compassion, and community in the journey toward behavioral health and wellness.

***deAwarenessMonth

September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month. Learn the warning signs, ⚠️normalize help-seeking, and let people know there are proven treatments that work.

Happy Recovery Month! 🎉

The IAIC is proud to lead the Indianapolis chapter of Young People in Recovery (YPR).

We’re excited to celebrate this important month by showing up, connecting, and supporting our recovery community. Want to know where we’ll be during Recovery Month or learn more about YPR? Reach out — we’d love to connect!

Together, we’re creating spaces where recovery is supported and celebrated! 💜

Happy National Recovery Month! 💜 This is a time to celebrate the strength, resilience, and hope of the recovery community. Since 1989, this month has honored the millions of people in recovery, raised awareness about substance use, and thanked the allies and advocates who make recovery possible.

Recovery Month reminds us that recovery is real, powerful, and worth celebrating. Whether you are in recovery, supporting a loved one, or advocating for change, your voice matters. By speaking up, sharing our stories, and embracing recovery together, we break stigma and show the world that healing is possible.

This September, let’s amplify recovery voices and celebrate progress. Recovery is for everyone, every person, every family, every community. 🌍✨

Join us for a powerful 2-day, in-person Alternatives to Su***de training
This is a human rights-centered approach that challenges fear, stigma, and outdated ideas about su***de support. Developed by the Wildflower Alliance, this model is used across the U.S., Canada, and Australia to create spaces where people in distress can speak openly, without judgment or coercion.

You’ll learn:
3 common misconceptions about supporting someone thinking about su***de
The 4 steps of the VCVC model — Validation, Curiosity, Vulnerability, and Community
Practical ways to help people regain power and control in their lives

Expect interactive activities, small group work, and role plays that will challenge assumptions and strengthen advocacy skills. This is training that will change the way you listen, respond, and connect.

Our team has absolutely LOVED hosting Lego Love so far! 💛 We're excited to keep the momentum going as we continue building meaningful connections in our 'Building Healthy Relationships' course. Come join us this Thursday—we’d love to see you there!

Dear Community, We See You.

In times when emotions feel heavy and connection feels distant, it's more important than ever to come together—to learn, to heal, and to grow.

At the IAIC Drop-In Center, we’re creating a space where people of all ages can explore what it means to build healthy relationships and emotional understanding. We’re honored to partner with Lego Love to offer a weekly series that supports just that.

🗓 Thursdays | July 17 – August 21
🕞 3:30 – 4:30 PM
📍 IAIC Drop-In Center

Each session will include thoughtful conversation, snacks, and a calming art activity to follow.

Whether you're a young person figuring things out, a parent trying to support your family, or someone working to uplift others—you are welcome here. We invite you to join us in nurturing compassion, understanding, and resilience within our community.

➡️ Please consider registering—and sharing this with someone who might need it too.

Together, let’s show up for each other. 💙
