Office and Community-based Services

Children with emotional disturbances and their families are able to receive comprehensive treatment through our outpatient offices. Therapy, skills training and development, and case management are offered in the office and community to youth and their families.

School-based Services

In collaboration with local schools, Cummins places clinical providers within the school to work with children and adolescents in their natural setting, where mental health difficulties frequently present themselves. Early identification and treatment of these conditions often results in fewer mental health challenges when youths enter adulthood.

Wraparound Services

The Wraparound program is an intensive, community-based program provided to families with the greatest risk of out-of-home placement for children. Cummins provides Wraparound services in Boone, Hendricks, Marion, Montgomery, and Putnam counties.

The Wraparound program is designed to address youth with complex needs and/or who are in danger of out-of-home placement. The program utilizes a wraparound approach designed to keep children in their communities. High Fidelity Wraparound is an evidence-based process that provides a comprehensive, holistic, youth and family, driven way of responding when youth experience serious mental health or behavioral challenges. It involves a committed team comprised of family, friends, community and professional supports to collaboratively develop an individualized plan of care that includes resources, talents and strengths to address the underlying needs of the family.

Intensive Outpatient Treatment for Adolescents (A-IOT)

"Balanced Minds" is an A-IOT group designed to assist our youth ages 12–17 who may need more intensive support in the outpatient setting. The group meets on a virtual platform from 5pm–8pm, three days each week, for a duration of 6 weeks.

During group, adolescents will engage in group therapy that helps to promote recovery, develop resiliency, increase positive coping skills, and develop healthy relationships.

A-IOT is a great option for adolescents who may need a step-down program coming out of residential treatment or inpatient treatment, or for those who may be at a higher risk of returning or entering into inpatient or residential care.

Success Story

"A student was referred to Cummins from their school in order to address behavior problems and coping skills. The student was known for hiding under desks at school, throwing items, having anger outbursts when they did not get what they wanted, and misbehaving in order to get attention both at home and at school.

The student, their family, their teachers, and Cummins providers all worked together, and in turn have completely changed the student’s behaviors to those of a model student. The student was discharged from both the WRAP program as well as Cummins’ services and is now teaching other students coping skills for handling anger. This is a perfect example of everyone putting in the work and having it lead to success."
