Trinity House is a group home located in a residential neighborhood adjacent to Lutherwood Residential Treatment Center & Education Academy on Indianapolis’ near east side. Accommodating up to 10 young men, the home is designed to create a home-like atmosphere that models true-to-life experiences to teach the skills necessary for becoming an independent adult. This tri-level house includes four double-occupancy bedrooms, living room, dining room, kitchen, laundry room, computer & study room, recreation room, therapy room, three restrooms, office, outdoor patio and full yard. It offers a high level of structure in a family-style environment to support and guide residents as they reintegrate into the community and become independent for the first time.
Trinity House residents are males age 14-21, who will soon age out of the foster care system. Some may be “stepping down” from residential placement or expect to be entirely self-sufficient when they are discharged. These youth may be experiencing chronic behavior and/or emotional problems and are learning how to better manage these issues to function as healthy adults. Although external abuse and neglect can be contributing factors, many of our residents come from stable homes but are struggling to recover from internal neurological, biological or psychiatric disorders.
