CWS Indianapolis

This Tuesday, CWS Indianapolis had the fantastic opportunity to table at the Eli Lilly and Company Level UP DEI Conference! We were honored to be invited by the Organization of Latinx at Lilly (OLA) to showcase our partnership with them. Special shout out to O. Hecmarie M. and Brenda Meza for their incredible support throughout the event! 🙌 We are incredibly grateful to OLA for their continued generosity, as they have once again committed to providing holiday gifts this year. 🎁 Their support through our Amazon Wishlist for unaccompanied minors will bring joy to many this holiday season. A huge thank you to OLA for this opportunity and for their ongoing dedication to making a difference! 🌟 #CWSIndianapolis #ThankYouOLA

🌟 A huge thank you to our amazing community partners who joined us last month at our Lunch and Learn! 🌟 It was a pleasure connecting with all of you to explore meaningful ways to collaborate in support of unaccompanied children. Your dedication to learning about their unique needs and discussing how we can serve them better was truly inspiring 💙 A special shoutout to Che Chori and Julieta Taco Shop for the delicious food that made the afternoon even more memorable. 🍽️✨Together, we’re making a lasting impact on these children’s lives, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for our partnerships! 💛 #CommunityImpact #TogetherForChange #SupportUnaccompaniedMinors Chechori.com @julietatacoshop on Instagram

At CWS Indianapolis, our caseworkers provide crucial support and psychoeducation to unaccompanied children and their sponsors during the first six months of their adjustment period. Building safe, stable developmental relationships within the household helps children feel secure and supported as they navigate immigration grief, traumatic experiences, and other challenges. Thanks to the generosity of the Indianapolis Airport Authority, we offer free mental health counseling with a bilingual, licensed therapist specializing in trauma. This vital support helps children begin their healing journey and build resilience, preventing risk factors like depression, suicidal ideation, and more. If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available. Call or text 988 or chat at 988lifeline.org to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Join Team CWS Indianapolis this Sunday, October 6 at 2:00 pm at the Indiana Interchurch Center (1100 West 42nd St) to walk the talk! If you'd rather, please chip in $10 or $20 to support hunger efforts globally and locally.
