Thanks to all who braved the frigid temperatures to join us at Ivy Tech Goshen Community Center for the first of many Consortium gatherings this year.

This series is an excellent opportunity to learn local data trends through the Elkhart County Child Dashboard, get to know our systems and each other’s programs, as well as network and act together.

We hope to see even more of you at our next gathering on March 31 when the weather is a little warmer! It is not too late to get involved!

The SOURCE, as Elkhart County’s System of Care, is the product of the minds and hearts of many fine people over the past 35 years. One of the finest of these is Bonita Schrock, chief clinical officer at Oaklawn.

Bonita was part of a group of leaders in the 1980s who decided that the only way to support youth with mental health challenges was by coming together to fix system gaps. She asked this group of leaders to chip in to hire someone to coordinate the work. They hired Bonnie Raine who applied for and received a series of SAMHSA and other grants, making The SOURCE the largest system of care in Indiana.

Bonita has led with excellence and compassion and is truly irreplaceable. We wish her every good thing in her retirement.

The Source Elkhart County

A system of care is a coordinated network of community partners, formal and informal, who provide services and supports for youth who have mental health concerns – or are at risk for them – and their families.

The mission of The SOURCE is simply stated: “Bringing hope to children with mental health challenges, one family at a time.”

When asked to talk about their vision for the work, The SOURCE leaders said, “We are here to ‘tighten the holes in the net’ to improve the effectiveness of services through collaboration and coordination to ensure that the children who need care get the services they require.”

An effective system of care is built on collaboration and fills the gaps in services and supports for children with mental health concerns.
