QUAKE COTTAGE

The public can experience what it is like to be in an earthquake this weekend in Vincennes. The Quake Cottage will be located at Grouseland on Saturday and Sunday beginning at 1 pm.

The Indiana Geological Survey is beginning Year 5 of its Quake Cottage, an earthquake education program for citizens of Indiana. The earthquake simulator mimics the shaking experienced during earthquakes having magnitudes up to 7-point-oh. The goal is to provide Hoosiers with a safe yet realistic experience of the intense shaking that can occur during an earthquake.

The program is funded in partnership with the Indiana Department of Homeland Security.

 


 

TEEN TREATMENT

Three percent of Hoosier children who are being treated for mental health issues also are battling a substance abuse diagnosis. That’s higher than the national rate of 4.3 percent. Experts say the two issues often are intertwined. But when a young person is struggling with addiction or a mental health condition, many adults don’t know where to turn to get them the counseling they need.

To help youth workers, parents and other caring adults find answers to that question, the Indiana Youth Institute (IYI) and Purdue Extension of Greene County are hosting a free public forum from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Tuesday, September 13 at the Greene County Community Event Center, located on West State Road 54 in Bloomfield.

Aaron Garner is the community liaison for Valle Vista Health System. Garner will talk attendees through the process of a young person going through mental health or substance abuse treatment programs. He will speak about the types of services available and give attendees a better understanding of what happens during a treatment or rehabilitation program.

The forum and lunch are free, but reservations are required. Please RSVP at www.iyi.org/ywc.
