Center for Behavioral Health Holiday Drive

Jennifer Nevers, one of our seniors, works at the Transitional Care Facility through CBH. They serve adults who are seriously mentally ill by providing individual support along with a structured group schedule. The clients at the facility are primarily there while stabilizing on medications, finding housing, and/or transitioning back into the community after being hospitalized.

In the past they have purchased holiday gifts for clients along with having a nice meal. This year, due to a lack of funding, they are unable to purchase these items. The items we typically purchase for clients are things such as socks, gloves, scarves, hats, slippers, underwear, etc. Hygiene products are also another good item that clients sometimes need in addition to food donations for the meal. If anyone has other ideas of things they may want to donate, Jennifer would be able to let you know if it would be something their clients could use.

You can drop off any donations at the school of social work (1127 East Atwater) or call 855-4427 or email socwork@indiana.edu if you have any questions
