IU Health Department:

SIP Behavioral Health Unit (SBU-Stress Busters Unit)

The SIP Behavioral Health Unit (SBU) at IU Health SIP Riley Physicians, is a collaborative and integrative site that provides behavioral health care to children and families in Monroe and the surrounding counties. Our 5 pediatric primary care offices serve roughly 80 percent of children in the Southern Central Region of Indiana. Referrals to SBU come directly from these offices and we work collaboratively with a multi-disciplinary team to determine best fit for care. We provide medication management as well as behavioral health therapy. Our practitioners utilize a range of treatment theories and methodologies. We were awarded a 2.5-year Department of Mental Health and Addictions grant from the state of Indiana to develop an intensive outpatient program for adolescents and a multi-family trauma informed group (including one specific for LBGTQIA+ families).
