Secure Residential Care - Retreat program is located in the Children's Bureau's Rachel Glick Courage Center. Retreat is a locked secure residential program for 15 co-ed youth ages 6 to 21. Youth accepted have a history of multiple unsuccessful placements and require a locked treatment environment to stabilize their at-risk behaviors. Services include specialized behavior modification, individual, group and family therapy, psychiatric support and assessment, permanency planning and comprehensive treatment plans.

This program is tailored for the youth who need a locked environment to address runaway, drug use, aggression, self harm and other at-risk behaviors. The program offers an on-grounds school program to meet their educational needs. Family involvement and preservation are strongly emphasized in the program.The goal is to prepare residents to continue their personal progress in a less restrictive setting.

Rachel Glick Courage Center is the Indianapolis Colts designated "Courage House"

Children's Bureau has a unique and special relationship with the Indianapolis Colts.

The Colts established their partnership with Children's Bureau in 2002 with the Rachel Glick Courage Center serving as the Colts Courage House.

Named after the NFL team in a respective city, a Courage House is a facility that provides support and quality care for abused children and their
families in that community.

In 1989, the Ed Block Courage Award Foundation formulated the Courage House National Support Network for Kids. The Courage House is a partnership effort among the Foundation, the NFL, NFL Charities, the Professional Football Athletic Trainers Society



(PFATS), the NFL Players Association (NFLPA), NFL Films, the Pro Football Hall of Fame and NFL Alumni. This partnership demonstrates compassion, and a commitment to helping abused children, at-risk children and families in crisis in NFL cities throughout the nation.

Upon joining the National Support Network, each Courage House is presented a Courage House plaque for display at their facility.

Since it is an existing facility, the Courage House's prevailing identity and standing are augmented, not eliminated, by forming this partnership with its respective NFL franchise and the Ed Block Courage Award Foundation. The Foundation's goal is to establish a Courage House in every NFL city.
