]]> Web Administrator webadmin@cityofmarion.in.gov https://cityofmarion.in.gov/ City Awarded $750K to Launch One Marion, GIANT Care Behavioral Health Intervention Program 2026-06-11T14:07:00-04:00 2026-06-11T14:11:15-04:00 130387 The City of Mar­i­on has been award­ed a $750,000 grant from the Indi­ana Crim­i­nal Jus­tice Insti­tute (ICJI) to imple­ment the One Mar­i­on, GIANT Care Behav­ioral Health Inter­ven­tion Pro­gram, an inno­v­a­tive ini­tia­tive designed to sup­port youth expe­ri­enc­ing behav­ioral health chal­lenges and reduce involve­ment in the juve­nile jus­tice system.

The One Mar­i­on, GIANT Care pro­gram will pro­vide ear­ly inter­ven­tion, behav­ioral health screen­ing, assess­ment, coor­di­nat­ed care, and con­nec­tions to men­tal health and fam­i­ly sup­port ser­vices for youth ages 10 – 17 who are at risk of or involved in the juve­nile jus­tice system.

Led by the City of Mar­i­on, the pro­gram will bring togeth­er schools, law enforce­ment, licensed behav­ioral health providers, and com­mu­ni­ty orga­ni­za­tions to cre­ate a coor­di­nat­ed response for youth and fam­i­lies in need. Through this col­lab­o­ra­tive approach, eli­gi­ble youth will receive time­ly access to behav­ioral health ser­vices and sup­port­ive resources before chal­lenges esca­late into court involvement.

“This invest­ment from the Indi­ana Crim­i­nal Jus­tice Insti­tute rep­re­sents a sig­nif­i­cant step for­ward in our com­mit­ment to sup­port­ing youth and strength­en­ing fam­i­lies in Mar­i­on and through­out Grant Coun­ty,” said May­or Ronald Mor­rell, Jr. 

“By address­ing behav­ioral health needs ear­ly and con­nect­ing young peo­ple to the right ser­vices, we can improve out­comes for youth while enhanc­ing pub­lic safe­ty and com­mu­ni­ty well-being,” said Dr. Jay­da Monteiro.

“Stu­dent suc­cess depends on more than aca­d­e­mics alone. This grant will help ensure that our stu­dents and fam­i­lies have access to the behav­ioral health sup­port they need to thrive. Through this part­ner­ship with the City of Mar­i­on, we are build­ing a proac­tive and sus­tain­able sys­tem of care that con­nects fam­i­lies to resources, sup­ports stu­dent well-being, strength­ens engage­ment in learn­ing, and helps remove bar­ri­ers that impact their achieve­ment. This invest­ment reflects our shared com­mit­ment to the suc­cess of every stu­dent and the future of our com­mu­ni­ty,” said Super­in­ten­dent Stephanie Lockwood.

The One Mar­i­on, GIANT Care Behav­ioral Health Inter­ven­tion Pro­gram reflects the City’s ongo­ing com­mit­ment to cre­at­ing a health­i­er, safer, and more sup­port­ive com­mu­ni­ty for young peo­ple and their families.

The City has secured most of the fund­ing need­ed for the project through a Parks Bond issued in Decem­ber 2025, and is now invit­ing the com­mu­ni­ty to help close the remain­ing gap. 

Planned as a pro­fes­sion­al­ly designed con­crete skatepark along the park’s exist­ing mul­ti-use trail sys­tem, the project is intend­ed to expand recre­ation­al oppor­tu­ni­ties while strength­en­ing qual­i­ty of life and com­mu­ni­ty vibran­cy. In addi­tion to cre­at­ing a safe and inclu­sive out­door space for healthy activ­i­ty, the skatepark is expect­ed to sup­port broad­er efforts to enhance Marion’s parks, attract and retain res­i­dents, and invest in ameni­ties that ben­e­fit the com­mu­ni­ty for years to come.

The crowd­fund­ing cam­paign is sup­port­ed by the Indi­ana Hous­ing and Com­mu­ni­ty Devel­op­ment Author­i­ty through a statewide ​“Patron­ic­i­ty” crowd-grant­i­ng pro­gram. Every dol­lar raised through the cam­paign, up to $50,000, will be matched by the State of Indi­ana, mean­ing each con­tri­bu­tion will have dou­ble the impact. Larg­er donors will also be rec­og­nized in print mate­ri­als, at rib­bon cut­tings, and through the per­ma­nent dis­play of their names and logos at the site.

Com­mu­ni­ty mem­bers, busi­ness­es, and sup­port­ers are encour­aged to con­tribute, share the cam­paign, and help bring the project to life. 

To donate, and for more infor­ma­tion on giv­ing lev­els, vis­it: http://​patron​ic​i​ty​.com/​m​a​r​i​o​n​s​k​a​t​epark.

The City of Mar­i­on con­tin­ues to invest in projects that strength­en neigh­bor­hoods, expand recre­ation­al oppor­tu­ni­ties, and improve qual­i­ty of life for res­i­dents through­out the community.
