Indiana Youth Institute

I had downloaded an example search on this web site but it will not load onto the blog for some reason. says it is a corrupt image. Anyway this is a great resource for all who work with children. You can go to their Indianapolis location or request resources on line. The library will then mail you the choices (or you leave with them)and they will enclose a postage paid envelope for returning. Great resource and you can lookkk at resources by topic and according to use in trainings that they offer. To qualify all you have to do is work with youth and live in Indiana. Hope you all find it useful. I have attached a brief summary from their FAQ page. The wed address is www.iyi.org.
