Description

Trauma can affect people of every race, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, gender, psychosocial background and geographic region. A traumatic experience can be a single event, a series of events and/or a chronic condition and can affect individuals, families, groups, communities, specific cultures and generations. The Eskenazi Health Resiliency Center is a place of healing and support dedicated to serving as a multi-agency resource and referral center for residents, visitors and responders affected by traumatic events. This grant-funded partnership between Indy HeartBeat and the Immigrant Welcome Center was inspired by a tragic mass shooting to help people access resources to help them build strength and resiliency in its aftermath. Services that are available include victim advocacy and support, case management, counseling and spiritual care referrals, technical assistance with applying for online services including victim assistance services and more.
