Mental Health

Community Living

In describing the deinstitutionalization movement, Bill Gilkey says, “I think the process went pretty well and one reason for that was because they did have community mental health centers in place in many areas of Indiana. Bill Gilkey, a retired psychologist, worked for the South-Central Community Mental Health Center (Centerstone) from 1970 to 2006. In this clip, he discusses the growth of mental health centers in Monroe and surrounding counties in the late 1960s and 1970s.
