Oaklawn – Camp Mariposa South Bend
With uncommon expertise in mental health and addiction services, Oaklawn joins with individuals, families and our community on the journey toward health and wholeness.
Oaklawn is the state-designated community mental health center for Elkhart and St. Joseph counties, providing specialized services for children, adolescents and adults in Northern Indiana. Services include therapy, case management, skills training, intensive outpatient programs, recovery coaching, inpatient treatment and intensive services for youth.
In addition to these more traditional services, Oaklawn is a leader in introducing innovative models, leading-edge practices and proven prevention programs for the benefit of the whole community. Oaklawn has served as Eluna’s Camp Mariposa South Bend, IN partner since 2021. With a strong focus on prevention and targeted support for youth at risk for a substance use disorder, Camp Mariposa is the perfect mission fit. Camp Mariposa is a free, weekend camp program for children ages 9-12. At camp, youth participate in fun, traditional camp activities combined with education and support sessions led by trained professionals and adult mentors. Additional social and educational activities are offered for youth, and their families throughout the year. Youth who attend Camp Mariposa learn coping skills that build resiliency and ultimately break the cycle of addiction.
