How does the System of Care work in Hamilton County?

Our organization provides a platform and foundation of partnership to meet unmet needs regarding community wellness throughout Hamilton County based on a consumer-driven approach. We remain flexible in our scope of work and can cater to our county’s individual needs. Examples of our work can be seen through suicide prevention education, early childhood mental health promotions, and cultivating trauma-informed spaces. In addition, we act as a conduit for the community linking together and sharing resources in our ever-growing network. We pride ourselves in providing community-based education as requested to address various topics from Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) to LGBTQ+ training and Veteran Suicide Prevention. 

Is this only in Hamilton County?

No. Formerly guided by the Division of Mental Health and Addiction, there is a System of Care Coordinator in over 60 Indiana counties.  Contact to see if your county has a System of Care Coordinator!

How is this different from other non-profits who provide resources?

HHC:SOC provides a platform for the members of the System of Care consortium to meet collaboratively to update the county on their organization.  These conversations and connections organically lead to discussion of gaps in our community.  This is where HHC:SOC comes in.  We work to lead projects, initiatives, and the like to fill gaps in Hamilton County.

Who do I have to be to join?

Just someone who lives, works, or connects in Hamilton County!  All are welcome to join our consortium because we know that wellness is impacted from all areas of our lives.
