The stigma associated with mental health, with talking about it, understanding it and asking for help when we need it, has started to fall away. Isn’t gone by any means, but the door is definitely ajar.

Yet in moments of crisis, it is still hard to know where to turn to get help for yourself or for a loved one in the most urgent of circumstances.

On this episode of INSession, we’re talking and Allen Superior Court’s role in crisis intervention about the mental health resources waiting to help.

Episode 8: "Mental Illness Touches Everyone" - Mental Health and the Courts

On one of the first episodes of INSession, we profiled Allen Superior Court’s Family Recovery Court (FRC). It’s among the newest problem-solving courts in Allen County, Indiana, providing help to families that saves lives, families and futures.  

Family Recovery Court tackles a complex mission by offering specialized help and treatment to families and caregivers who find themselves in court to address abuse and neglect cases rooted in substance abuse.

In Court, clients have a network of support, the likes of which many of them have never experienced at their fingertips. But outside the courtroom, FRC clients can face a barrage of temptations and exposures to drugs and alcohol that threaten their recovery.

On this episode, we’re talking about the safety net of resources that those dealing with addictions can tap into AFTER the gavel falls.
