Connxxions develops an individual’s ability to recognize when a mental health issue is occurring or about to occur. Ultimately, the individual will better their coping skills through Connxxions. Improving communication and learning through experiences are key features of the program.

Connxxions facilitates the coordination of the complex care system for individuals with both developmental and mental health challenges. Individual therapy, group settings, caregiver training, and crisis assistance are all important aspects of Connxxions.

An individual with co-occurring mental illness and developmental disability has historically been misunderstood and overlooked by the health community. To address this individual’s complex needs, Meridian Services first designed and implemented the Connxxions program in 1994 in Jay and Randolph counties. As Connxxions gained notoriety and proved effectiveness, additional providers in other counties heard about the services and wanted to participate. Today, The Connxxions Program of Meridian Services continues to grow across Indiana. With the addition of the Crisis Assistance Program, there are now options 24 hours a day/7 days a week to meet acute psychiatric and behavioral needs of individuals with both developmental and mental health challenges.
