The death of someone you love can be one of the most difficult experiences of your life. When a child experiences the death of someone significant, his or her feelings and thoughts may become confusing and overwhelming. Brooke's Place provides an environment where children and their families have the opportunity to share their story and begin to heal.

CHILDREN, TEENS, YOUNG ADULTS AND THEIR FAMILIES LIVING WITH GRIEF FEEL SUPPORTED AND UNDERSTOOD

Children and teens grieve differently than adults. A 5-year-old boy can only grieve with his 5 years of experience in life. The same is true for a 15-year-old grieving girl. She now has to manage teenage life, while also deeply grieving her loved one. In the long term, unrecognized or unreconciled grief may negatively impact a child as he or she enters adulthood.

DESIGNED TO PROVIDE HOPE

At Brooke's Place, children learn to honor and cherish the loved ones that they carry in their heart. Through peer support groups and therapy services (individual/family counseling), children learn they are not alone. Together, they learn to recognize, express and embrace their thoughts, questions and feelings about grief and loss. We provide caring programs to support grieving children and their families in a safe and confidential atmosphere. Learn more about our Grief Support Group Program, Therapy Services, BP-8 Program and Camp Healing Tree .

Individualized Treatment for Addiction

Because every person and every experience with substance use disorder is different, we offer a variety of programs designed to meet individual needs. Upon arriving at Fairbanks, you or your loved one will be assessed to determine the proper course of treatment. While there are different levels of treatment, from inpatient to recovery management, our comprehensive approach supports the mind, body and spirit of every individual we serve. We offer specialized treatment for men and women in all of our programs including MAT (Medication-Assisted Treatment), counseling and group therapy. Throughout treatment at Fairbanks, you or a loved one receive care that recognizes adverse events that may contribute to substance-use issues and helps begin the journey of recovery.

MAT (Medication-Assisted Treatment)

Relapse prevention

Nutrition education

Stress management/Life skills development

Family education groups

Spirituality

Recreational therapy

Amenities at Community Fairbanks include a gym with exercise equipment, cafeteria, and coffee and gift shops.

After Treatment

How someone lives after treatment is just as important as treatment. At Community Fairbanks Recovery Center, we continue to support patients and keep them connected to the community by hosting activities and events.

The first 30 days and first year after finishing treatment for substance use disorder are major milestones on the road to recovery. They can be some of the most difficult times along the journey, but our patients are not alone. Community Fairbanks is there every step of the way through recovery management.

Staying connected to a recovery community is essential to reducing risk of relapse. With Community Fairbanks Recovery Management, patients will receive the help of a recovery coach. We encourage participation in an individual or group program as well as family support meetings.

Outside Support Meetings

In addition to treatment, we recommend our patients participate in outside support groups including SMART Recovery, AA, NA and Celebrate Recovery. Outside support groups are valuable contributions to the list of tools of recovery that patients can use on their recovery journey. However, we do not consider one group of tools more essential than another. It is vital that patients have equal access to whichever tools are the most valuable to helping them achieve and maintain sobriety.

Recovery Support

The first year following substance use disorder treatment can be difficult. This is the time when an individual needs to establish important life skills to help in the transition back to work, school and community. We know that when a person stays connected to recovery support they can significantly increase their success in long-term recovery from substance use disorders.

Following primary treatment, we encourage one to continue to receive support from Community Fairbanks through our Community Fairbanks Recovery Management program. While participating in recovery management, an individual will receive guidance, encouragement, and support. There are many ways to stay connected to Community Fairbanks Recovery Center and a supportive recovery community.

In the transition from treatment to recovery, recovery coaches are vital in keeping individuals on the path to lifelong recovery. A person will meet with his or her coach in weekly groups that introduce sober stress management, recovery maintenance and ideas to develop a balanced life without drugs or alcohol.

Please contact us to learn more about recovery management at Fairbanks.

Substance abuse disorders are an increasingly urgent problem in Indianapolis and, more broadly, Indiana as a whole. Alarmingly, Indiana has experienced a 22.5% increase in fatal drug overdoses from 2016 to 2017 alone. While marijuana is the most abused drug in the state, the use of heroin has climbed dramatically amidst the nationwide opioid epidemic and accounts for nearly two-thirds of the overdose fatalities. Furthermore, Indiana ranked 16th out of 50 states in the country for the percentage of residents who required substance abuse treatment but didn't receive it. The number of overdose deaths involving cocaine, benzodiazepines, and psychostimulants has simultaneously increased in the past several years, indicating an urgent need for high-quality, accessible rehabilitation centers for its residents.

We used these five core metrics to determine the quality of each treatment center. For more information, feel free to read a full breakdown of our filtering process and ranking methodology.

Addiction Rehab Centers

Founded in 2010, Addiction Rehab Centers (ARC) specializes in drug and alcohol addiction treatment tailored to each patient. The center provides a wide array of treatment services, including detoxification, intensive and regular outpatient, residential, and partial hospitalization. Its treatment model revolves around addressing each patient's core underlying issues, whether it is trauma, abuse, abandonment, or codependency, rather than just a crash course on the 12-step philosophy. To this end, ARC uses a holistic treatment approach individualized for each client, combining recreational therapy, individual and group process therapy, 12-step facilitation, and more. The center also offers a comprehensive four-day family program that allows patients and their family members to work together towards recovery. Continuing care options, such as Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous, are also available to support a sustained recovery. Free consultations are available for prospective patients.
What patients are saying:
Many patients comment that the staff at Addiction Rehab Centers made them instantly feel like family. Patients appreciate that the compassionate and caring staff are genuinely invested in their recovery. One five-star reviewer says, "ARC was much more than I could have imagined. Extremely welcoming environment and very easy to call home. Everyone here is treated like family. The group and individual therapy is wonderful. I love the way that the entire program is so neatly organized, and it shows with amazing results. I could not recommend a better place to conquer addiction. I'm extremely happy that I had the opportunity to spend 90 days here. I am amazed!"

Life Recovery Center

Life Recovery Center has four locations throughout Indianapolis and has served the community since 2004. The center specializes in the treatment of mental health, substance abuse, disordered gambling, domestic violence, and other disorders and issues. The center provides intensive and regular outpatient and aftercare services for 10-20 weeks depending on the needs of the patient and the specific program that is recommended. The outpatient programs feature individual therapy, family therapy, and peer recovery coaching, in addition to therapy and counseling support for medication-assisted patients. After completing initial treatment, patients can receive ongoing alumni support with aftercare treatment programs free of charge.

According to one five-star review, "At Life Recovery Center, I've seen the staff show a lot of compassion and grace for clients. Although treatment brings people in for helping with alcohol or substance use, it's a lot more than that. Treatment teaches how to live well, living life on life's terms, and how to find happiness even when life makes it difficult, with a staff that truly wants to see clients succeed."
What patients are saying:
Progress House, Inc.

Established in 1961, Progress House, Inc. is the oldest and largest recovery home for men in Indiana. It operates as a hybrid between a residential addiction recovery center and a sober living program. Its treatment services are structured as a three-phase behavioral health and long-term residential treatment program, addressing the healing of mind, body, and spirit. Its holistic treatment program includes services such as intensive care management, medication-assisted recovery, individual and group counseling, substance abuse and mental health resources, recovery support services, relapse prevention counseling, life skills training, and much more. After staying at the main center for 90 days for the first phase of the treatment program, residents can then move to a sober living apartment complex and take part in a 12-step sponsorship program.

Patients love the caring, helpful staff and clean, comfortable facility. Many patients appreciate the 12-step sponsorship program that lets them help other residents aiming towards recovery. One five-star reviewer states, "I would strongly urge anyone with a substance or alcohol abuse problem to check into the Progress House. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and educated, but most of all they are there to guide you and to counsel you every step of the way. I felt at home there and think of everyone there as family. Thanks to Darrell and his entire staff for helping me save my life."

Seeds of Hope
What patients are saying:
Seeds of Hope was founded in 1999 and provides transitional residential living for women over the age of 18 with a drug or alcohol addiction. In a homey, family-like environment, patients will foster healthy support systems, learn self-sufficiency through job skills and life skills training, and learn relapse prevention measures that can support a sustained recovery. Patients can also look forward to daily 12-step meetings and group meetings to develop self-awareness and improve relationships. The typical program length is six months but varies depending on the needs of the individual.

Many patients recommend the structured treatment program for the beneficial life skills they learned and the supportive, caring staff. One reviewer states, "Seeds of Hope planted a seed for me. It gave me lots of hope and unconditional love. It showed me the tools of recovery. I would highly recommend it for any woman who is struggling and needs a temporary place to call home while starting a great way of life in recovery."

Everyone on the staff from kitchen crew right up to the doctors treats you like family and makes you feel comfortable.

At & T Offers Discounted Wireless Internet Plans

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
What's the news? The COVID-19 pandemic has forced more than 50 million U.S. students to learn from home. Yet nearly 17 million children are unable to take part because their families don't have an internet connection or device to support digital learning.

To help close the gap and enable connected learning, AT&T is offering discounted unlimited wireless data plans ¹ and content filtering services to more than 135,000 public and private K-12 schools, colleges and universities across the country for a limited time. Offer details include:

Schools can migrate existing AT&T lines or activate new lines for students on a qualified unlimited wireless data plan and content filtering service for $15 a month, with the additional option of an AT&T Moxee hot spot at no cost after bill credits. ³

For every 24 qualified student activations above, schools can activate 1 line with the same services for a teacher at no cost after bill credits to help them do what they do every day as classroom superheroes.

The offer is good through December 29, 2020 - schools that add at least one eligible line as part of this offer can also activate additional lines at the same price through December 29, 2022, at which point the promotional pricing ends.

In addition to the discounted plans for schools to connect their students, AT&T is making a $10 million commitment to support at-risk students disconnected from learning with internet connectivity and Wi-Fi hotspots. We will also expand availability of tech-enabled tools and learning resources for students, teachers, schools, and parents working across company resources, including WarnerMedia, for ongoing support for this initiative.

While the homework gap is not new, the pandemic and the critical need for remote learning has made it worse. This nationwide problem disproportionately impacts 1 in 3 students of color, as well as students with disabilities and students in rural and under-resourced neighborhoods. Additionally, 300,000 to 400,000 K-12 teachers live in households without adequate internet connectivity or home computing devices - roughly 10 percent of all public school teachers. 4

What is AT&T doing for teachers beyond school-funded service? Teachers can still take advantage of our appreciation offer announced in July for exclusive savings on personal wireless service. This offer applies to both new and existing customers that are Kindergarten through post-secondary teachers, professors, instructors, and their families with a 25% savings on AT&T Unlimited Starter, Extra and Elite consumer wireless plans. 5

How will AT&T's $10 million commitment support education? Today, we're committing $10 million to support our nation's most vulnerable students, who don't have adequate internet access and are disconnected from learning. There are an estimated 17 million public K-12 students falling into the homework gap due to COVID-19 school closures.

Together with Connected Nation, a leading non-profit helping communities solve their broadband and digital technology challenges, we'll work to close the homework gap for struggling students by providing WiFi hotspots and free AT&T internet service. School districts and non-profits across the U.S. will be invited to apply for support in the coming weeks.

This commitment comes alongside a collaboration with global HR services and solutions firm Randstad to refurbish and donate laptops and other devices to keep students connected.

AT&T has a long history of supporting communities where we live and work. This new commitment builds on the $10 million Distance Learning and Family Connections fund we launched at the start of this pandemic. We've committed $600 million since 2008 to advance education and create opportunity, particularly in historically underserved populations.

What about safety protocols for school-provided student access? We understand that schools need affordable options including services to support their online safety protocols like those in the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA). That's why we've included content filtering options, which will help schools deliver safer on-ramps for K-12 and higher education users/devices connecting to the Internet. For schools looking to add device management, an additional option is also available at a discounted rate. ³

What else is AT&T doing about the connectivity challenges in America? We continue to expand our connectivity efforts while working with stakeholders to develop policies that will help sustain and expand reliable broadband connectivity for all Americans.

How to Request a Bed

You can request a bed in one of two ways:

1.) As a Bed Recipient: To qualify as a bed recipient, you must be the legal guardian of the child or children receiving the bed. Please submit the online SHP Application Form mentioned above.

2.) As a Referral: Referring a family for a bed is a big responsibility. Generally, it is through referrals that we find the families who need our beds the most. If you're a referral, please submit the online SHP Application Form. Also, if you've referred a family to us, you'll need to be present for the bed delivery if they're selected. We also need the ability to reach people who refer a family via phone or text.

Selecting a Recipient

Once we receive an application, our selection committee will review it. Selecting a recipient isn't done on a first-come, first-served basis-we make our decisions based on which children need beds the most.

We make and deliver beds as supplies and donations allow. When we're out of beds or bedding, we file unselected applications away until we can make more. Unfortunately, we can't guarantee that every applicant will get a bed.
If you are unable to fill out the online application, please contact your Chapter President.
Request a Free Bunk Bed For Your Kids

Sleep in Heavenly Peace is always eager to help families in need, particularly ones whose kids have uncomfortable sleeping arrangements. Unfortunately, we can only help families who are close to our active chapters.
Therefore, you must fit the following criteria to receive one of our bunk beds:
1.) Location: You must live near one of our active chapters. To find your local chapter, view our locations here.

2.) Living Environment: You must have an accessible house or apartment with a room large enough to fit one of our beds.

3.) Contact: We must be able to contact you via phone, text or email.

4.) Necessary Documents: You'll need to fill out our online SHP Application Form. If your application is accepted, you'll need to sign an Indemnification Release Form (you can do this when your bed arrives).

Please note that not all chapters are taking applications at the current time, but will be in the future.

You can submit an application for a free bunk bed here:

High School students can be volunteer tutors for students in Kinship care. Interested in becoming a virtual tutor? Contact Krista Hays, Community Engagement Manager at khays@villages.org

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A 30-minute virtual weekly tutoring program is making a big impact on children in The Villages Family Connection Network Kinship Care Program and its volunteers. Launched in October 2020, the tutoring program is a welcome support for grandparents who are raising younger relatives either short-term or permanently.

Currently, eight children in elementary and junior high school meet each week with one of two volunteers via Zoom. Two additional high school students receive assistance as they need help with assignments.

The time spent with tutors helps support kinship families who are learning how to navigate virtual learning during the pandemic, said Jessi O'Shea, Case Manager for the Family Connection Network Program who coordinates the tutoring.

"We're seeing the kids' grades improve and grandparents are so grateful because virtual learning has been a challenge for them," said O'Shea. "Some of the kids have said the tutors helped explain something better than the teacher."

The program started after North Central High School senior Beth Breman called Sharon Pierce, Villages President and CEO, offering to tutor children if there was a need. Beth Breman is not a stranger to The Villages and service of others. She is the daughter of the late Matt Breman for whom the organization's annual Memorial Run 4Kids is named and daughter of Board of Directors member and former Chair, Rhonda Breman

"I want to be a teacher and like being able to help children," Beth Breman said. "Tutoring is something I really enjoy, so I thought it would be a great way to serve The Villages."

Pierce connected her with O'Shea to create a tutoring plan. Three volunteers were approved to tutor, including Beth Smith, a long-time supporter of Villages kids and retired kindergarten and special needs teacher. The third tutor, another North Central student, volunteered in the fall.

Smith said she makes time to plan for every session to be sure the children she tutors get what they need during the 30-minute session. "It's been wonderful getting to know the children. I enjoy working with them," Smith said. "Grandparents and teachers have a challenging job right now. I'm happy to help."

Beth Breman is graduating high school this spring and is involved in the plans to continue the virtual tutor program next school year. "I definitely want to keep the program going and involve more student (volunteers)," she said.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The death of someone you love can be one of the most difficult experiences of your life. When a child experiences the death of someone significant, his or her feelings and thoughts may become confusing and overwhelming. Brooke's Place provides an environment where children and their families have the opportunity to share their story and begin to heal.

CHILDREN, TEENS, YOUNG ADULTS AND THEIR FAMILIES LIVING WITH GRIEF FEEL SUPPORTED AND UNDERSTOOD

Children and teens grieve differently than adults. A 5-year-old boy can only grieve with his 5 years of experience in life. The same is true for a 15-year-old grieving girl. She now has to manage teenage life, while also deeply grieving her loved one. In the long term, unrecognized or unreconciled grief may negatively impact a child as he or she enters adulthood.

DESIGNED TO PROVIDE HOPE

At Brooke's Place, children learn to honor and cherish the loved ones that they carry in their heart. Through peer support groups and therapy services (individual/family counseling), children learn they are not alone. Together, they learn to recognize, express and embrace their thoughts, questions and feelings about grief and loss. We provide caring programs to support grieving children and their families in a safe and confidential atmosphere. Learn more about our Grief Support Group Program, Therapy Services, BP-8 Program and Camp Healing Tree .

Gurinder Kaur is a servant leader, compassionate advocate for equity, and champion for social justice.

Gurinder was born and brought up in New Delhi, India. Her formative years were influenced by her middle-class working parents-both teachers. As a Sikh, Gurinder learned the principles of seva, which means selfless service for altruistic purposes on behalf of, and for the betterment of a community, early in her life. Gurinder endeavors to make an impact on the lives of those who need it most through her service on the boards of local nonprofits and by working in the community gardens to provide fresh produce to food-insecure neighbors in south Indy.

Professionally Gurinder trained as a physical therapist in India and arrived to work at Oakwood Hospital in Dearborn, Michigan in the early 1990s on an H1B visa. She fondly remembers the day her plane was preparing to land at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport, and she saw white clouds on the ground. As she stepped outside, the bitter cold Michigan winter wind hit her face and she realized that the white cloud on the ground was snow. Gurinder still is amazed by the snow to this day.

Gurinder earned her post-professional master's degree in physical therapy from the University of Indianapolis in 1995. In October 1999, Gurinder became a proud citizen of the United States of America. In 2001, Gurinder earned her master's in public health from the Fairbanks School of Public Health. Since then, she has worked in leadership roles in public health, nonprofit, and most recently in higher education at the University of Indianapolis. Gurinder is the proud mother of two children. She enjoys walking on the canal towpath near the 100 Acre Woods, reading, and doing yoga.

In her role as the CEO of Immigrant Welcome Center, Gurinder focuses on initiatives to increase community-wide awareness of the rich cultural and ethnic diversity that our new immigrant and refugee neighbors bring to the City of Indianapolis. She is excited to work with the board and key stakeholders to clearly describe the impact of barriers and challenges that our new neighbors face and work with policymakers to identify and implement innovative solutions to address these challenges.

Gurinder serves on the board of the Indiana Public Health Association as well as WFYI's Community Advisory Board.

Mission Statement: Providing emergency food to people in need

Who : The Boulevard Place food pantry, an affiliate of St. Vincent de Paul, was established in 1982 on the property of St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church. In August 2012 it moved to its present location, a stand-alone building at 4202 N. Boulevard Place. The pantry was created to provide emergency food assistance to people in need. The pantry is supported by 5 contributing Catholic parishes (St. Luke, Joan of Arc, Christ the King, Immaculate Heart of Mary, and St. Thomas Aquinas). The pantry is non-denominational in its outreach.

What In order to receive food on a regular basis, clients must reside within the geographic boundaries of the 5 contributing Catholic parishes. Clients may shop twice a month, self-selecting from staple foods, as well as meats, bread, fresh produce, and personal hygiene items. Clients receive between 16-25 "points" to shop, depending upon family size. In addition, bread, produce and over stocked items are given out for no points. In order to receive food, clients must bring a piece of residential mail postmarked within the last 3 months. Clients who bring their own bags receive an extra food point. The pantry does not turn people away who come for food but live outside the boundaries. Out of boundaries clients are served on a one-time only basis and provided with a list of pantries located within their residential quadrant of Marion County.

The pantry is open on 8 occasions during the week as follows:

Partners: Boulevard Place has approximately 120 adult and student volunteers that stock the shelves, assist clients, off load deliveries, clean and maintain the property. Gleaners, Second Helpings, the SHarP Community Garden, Fairview Presbyterian Church, Common Ground Christian Church, St. Vincent de Paul Archdiocesan Conferences, Unitarian Universalist Church of Indianapolis, Butler CUE, and the Broad Ripple Farmers Market. All of these partners provide volunteers and/or food and/or funds to the pantry. The pantry continues to search for ways to be more helpful to clients on a holistic basis. Currently the pantry has partnered with the Marion County Health Department and the Purdue Extension of Marion County to provide clients with nutrition education. The pantry's efforts in this area are ongoing.

about-tpbc

Prayer is our lifeline to God. It is the most important thing we do as a Church. Through prayer we not only discern God's will but also access His power. ( Matt. 7:7-11)

The Bible is God's Word for us. We aim to be biblically grounded and theologically sound in harmony with the historic truth of the Christian faith. Spirit anointed preaching and teaching of God's Word transforms lives and the Church. ( II Timothy 3:16-17)

Every member is a minister; although we do not all have the same ministry. We each are to serve as God has made us. We do not hire staff to do the ministry for us, but to help the members do ministry. ( Eph. 4:7,11-12)

our-mission

We are called to serve God by winning the world for Christ through the word by training leaders and reaching out to meet the spiritual, physical, and social needs of the community.

our-ministries

Campus Crusade (CRU)

Campus Crusade is a group of college students that come to Indianapolis annually to go around neighborhoods to evangelize to non-believers. They distribute a box of food for the household as well as praying for them and sharing the Word. These students are from several colleges and we generally get 200-300 students here at Tuxedo. We pray with them, laugh with them, hear their testimonies when they return. Then we send them back to the hotels after feeding them a spaghetti dinner. On the last day of their stay, we go to the closing and see about 2,000 young people praising their day and giving thanks for what they were able to do.

Grace House

Indiana Adult & Teen Challenge

Grace House is a long-term, residential Teen Challenge program for women ages 18 and over who are struggling with life-controlling problems. They are a Christ-centered program with an emphasis on discipleship and recovery. They endeavor to help women become metally sound, emotionally balanced, socially adjusted, physically well, and spiritually alive!

Alcoholics Anonymous (AA)

We currently have three AA groups that meet here at our church. We totally allow the anonymity and safety of our building for three separate nights. Occasionally, the pastor will share a prayer with them.

Mission Trips

We have been involved in several mission trips to Green Lake, WI over the past 7+ years. We have roofed houses, cleared brush, made curtains for dorms, and studied many programs which benefited our church and our congregation.

Every Thursday evening we have a community dinner. It is an opportunity for us to dine and fellowship with individuals in our community. There is a ten-minute devotional, a prayer, and a delicious meal. We open our Food Pantry to individuals who may be experiencing a need. Our food pantry offers fresh bread, fruits, meats, and vegetables. Please consider joining us this Thursday.

Week of Hope Students

Our Week of Hope students are youngsters from ages 12-17 that come here every year to help us at the church. They have painted, pulled weeds, cleared trash, put up light fixtures, repaired steps, fix lunch for the neighbors and bake cookies.

Game & Word

Youth Bible Study meets the Xbox. In an effort to engage more youth in Biblical teachings, we developed "Game & Word." During "Game & Word" adolescents and teenagers participant in a twenty-minute bible study, then they engage in gaming tournaments with each other for an hour. Some of these games include: Madden 2018, and NBA 2K18.

Boy Scouts of America

Tuxedo Park Baptist Church is the proud home of Boy Scout of America Troop 1, the first Boy Scout Troop in Indiana. In our Troop, young men fifth grade through high school are taught the importance of service, community engagement, and other skills that foster leadership development. We would be honored to sponsor your child. Please call us for details.

The below missions are part of our giving for the American Baptist Churches. A percentage of our income is allocated to these.

America Baptist Women

American Baptist Women's Ministries is a diverse community of American Baptist women and girls serving in ministry in Christ's name. With local, area, region/state, and national levels of ministry, AB Women's Ministries creates a community of passionately faithful, mission-minded women and girls engaged in worship, service, and friendship.
