Friends of Indiana Mental Health Centers is a Political Action Committee (PAC) working towards effective and sound public policy related to the provision of mental health services within the community mental health
center provider network in Indiana.

The Friends of Indiana Mental Health Centers is excited to announce our 2019 Educational Seminar focused on administrative, legal, and operational considerations for your community mental health center (CMHC). We have designed several sessions focused on topical considerations for your CMHC, including a better understanding of CMHC county funding calculations and a preliminary FY19 CMHC benchmarking analysis, all provided by Blue and Company. To finish the morning sessions, we will have a presentation on Red Flag laws in Indiana and how gun laws may impact the consumers we serve. For our luncheon discussion, Matt Brooks will be leading two well-established political veterans in a Q&A on expectations for the 2020 Indiana General Assembly, including the future political direction of policy in Indiana. For the afternoon sessions, we will have information on internal investigations within your CMHC, program compliance, navigating real estate transactions, and HIPAA Part II compliance. We hope you agree, this broad spectrum of administrative, legal, and operational issues facing your CMHC will provide the information and insight you need to stay on top of critical considerations.

This year’s meeting is being held at the Indiana Council Conference Center, located at 101 W. Ohio Street, Suite 700, Indianapolis, IN 46220. Due to size limitations, we are limiting initial registration to two (2) staff members per CMHC. If the event space becomes available, we will welcome one (1) additional attendee from your CMHC, based on the date of receipt of your CMHCs registration. On the registration, simply add the names of the two (2) attendees, along with up to one (1) additional name for the wait list. Once we have a better understanding of the number of registrants, we will open the additional space and notify the additional attendee. As reminder, keeping registration and catering costs low is important for this meeting in order to maximize net revenue for the event while supporting the Friends of Indiana Community Mental Health Centers.
