RE-SCHEDULED DUE TO ILLNESS. REGISTER FOR THE JANUARY 11, 2022 VIRTUAL EVENT HERE.

Look at the historic therapeutic care used in the state’s psychiatric hospitals and compare this care to the newly integrated trauma-informed care model to see how much has changed.

The Indiana Medical History Museum (IMHM) has been a careful guardian of the history of psychiatric care at Central State Hospital (1848—1994) since its founding in 1969. This event is a chance to expand that historical knowledge to include similar hospitals around the state and highlight present-day innovations.

Following two short presentations – one by a medical historian and the other by a hospital director – attendees will get to listen in on a discussion with a patient advocate on the significance of these changes. Attendees are encouraged to visit the IMHM website to learn about tour opportunities to see the related exhibit Changing Direction: The Evolution of Treatment at Indiana’s State Psychiatric Hospitals.

A partnership between Indiana Medical History Museum, Indiana State Psychiatric Hospital Network, and Mental Health America of Indiana.
