The Boards of Sertoma Centre, Inc. and New Star, Inc. announced that they will merge the two organizations, effective October 3, 2023. After completing a thorough assessment of the organizations and receiving approval from state agencies, both boards agreed that combining resources will have a greater impact in serving individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities and those living with mental illness. The merger will create a large alliance for individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities and those living with mental illness. The merged organization will be renamed Sertoma Star Services. Sertoma Centre and New Star have a collective 120-plus years of supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Each organization provides unique services that will benefit the consumers/members. Sertoma Centre has strong mental health services, providing opportunities that empower individuals living with mental illness to achieve personal success throughout the south suburbs. New Star provides unique recreation services, supports people in Indiana, and has a strong person-centered model. Both organizations are committed to community-integrated employment and smaller facility-based day services.
