This morning’s incident at Franciscan Health in Michigan City has shaken our community.

On behalf of all of us at Swanson Center, we are keeping Deputy Samuelson, his family, and everyone affected in our thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.

We are grateful for the men and women in law enforcement and emergency response who step forward each day to protect others, often placing themselves in harm’s way without a second thought. Their courage, sacrifice, and service should never be taken for granted.

When we understand mental health challenges can be at the root of addiction, we start asking 'how can we help?’ with no judgement. That question alone can make a big difference. Contact Swanson Center today at 219-879-4621, or visit https://www.samhsa.gov/find-support

Respectful communication about mental health is especially important during times of transition, including housing instability or reentry into the community. Compassionate words signal safety when people need it most. https://www.samhsa.gov/resource/ebp/permanent-supportive-housing-evidence-based-practices-ebp-kit

Young people thrive when support comes early. Encouraging open conversations about mental health can help children and teens feel supported in reaching out. https://www.samhsa.gov/mental-health/what-is-mental-health/how-to-talk/young-people

Sometimes the most important step is listening. Taking time to listen to the concerns of a young person in your life can help them feel safe sharing what they’re experiencing. https://www.samhsa.gov/mental-health/children-and-families
