About Us

Founded in 1985, Indiana MENTOR is a leading human services provider with more than 35 years of experience serving people in the communities they call home. Our innovative Therapeutic Foster Care program serves youth throughout the state who are facing emotional and behavioral challenges that often result from abuse, neglect, loss or other traumatic experiences.

In this program, children and young adults live in loving family homes with therapeutic foster parents called Mentors, who provide nurturing support and therapeutic services to address challenges and help them heal.

Our Mission

The mission of Indiana MENTOR is to support children and their families in charting a hopeful course for their lives, regardless of the challenges they face. Our philosophy emphasizes partnerships – with those we serve, their families, our employees, Mentors, payors and the communities in which we work – in an effort to help the people we serve move forward in life—together, as a family.

Indiana MENTOR is a trusted provider with a proven track record of helping individuals of all abilities thrive. We believe that providing innovative, high-quality services and supports is our primary responsibility. We strive to create partnerships that yield powerful outcomes, making a positive difference for each child in our Therapeutic Foster Care program.

A National Network

As a partner of The MENTOR Network, a national network of local health and human services providers, Indiana MENTOR provides those who work with us and those we serve the benefits of a strong national structure. With specialized programs provided close to home, we are able to provide cost-effective supports, a career ladder for employees and the highest possible quality of care to the children and families we serve.
