The new facilities will be named the Michael A. and Laurie Burns McRobbie Behavioral Health Center, coined for the two philanthropists who donated the funds. IU Health matched the donation.
Michael McRobbie, PhD, is the former president of Indiana University and Laurie Burns McRobbie is a former adjunct professor at the school.
The funds will support part-time peer counselors and other mental health services aimed at 18- to 34-year-olds. These new services are slated to be available in July.
At the Becker's Fall Behavioral Health Summit, taking place November 4–5 in Chicago, behavioral health leaders and executives will explore strategies for expanding access to care, integrating services, addressing workforce challenges and leveraging innovation to improve outcomes across the behavioral health continuum.
