Thanks to WFYI in Indianapolis for covering this story on NEC Connect and the impact of simply giving someone a ride.

More than a third of people released from prison in Indiana went back within three years. That's according to Indiana Department of Correction data. One northeast Indiana group aims to solve the problem by reducing barriers to transportation.

We had a great time at Kid City on Saturday! We were able to visit with over 300 kids and their families and provide information and resources on mental health! We also did our annual giveaway of two backpacks full of school supplies!

We were recently visited by Dallas and his human, our own staff therapist Shelley Carroll. Shelley and Dallas provided a training for some of our staff on the benefits of animals in client recovery and what the proper process looks like in helping a client obtain an emotional support animal. We loved having Dallas visit us in the office for the day!

Northeastern Center has awarded the 2025 Jane George Scholarship to Leah Kathary, a recent graduate of West Noble High School. The award is given annually to a student planning a future career in mental health.

Kathary plans to attend Wayne State University in the fall where she intends to study psychology. In her essay, Kathary wrote, “I want to do everything in my power to help people who are not capable of helping themselves. I want to show people that there are options for them and that they do have a future in this world.”

Congratulations to Leah and best of luck to her as she moves on to college this fall!
