PEACE ZONE EMPOWERING THOSE LIVING WITH MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES

0

Peace Zone, located at 410 Mulberry St in Evansville, was founded in 2012 by Beth Barchet and Rick Paul of Southwestern Behavioral Healthcare, Inc. with the vision of empowering those living with mental health issues through a welcoming peer-run recovery center that is open to the public.  In addition to mental health, Peace Zone also offers services to those with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse issues.

After receiving a grant from the state of Indiana (through the Division of Mental Health and Addiction), Peace Zone first opened its doors on February 28th, 2013, as the first in the state to be associated with a mental health center.  With over 1200 visits in its first four months of operation, Peace Zone was a success! 

As a peer-run organization, meaning that individuals in recovery are active in running the organization, the Peer Advisory Council helps provide direction and leadership for the day-to-day operations, and the Board of Directors provides financial and strategic oversight to keep procedures running smoothly.  Although each individual person’s story and recovery process is unique, members can find comfort in knowing that they are not traveling the road alone and that recovery is possible for everyone. Peace Zone offers community education and outreach, daily support groups (journaling and poetry, spiritual, computer skills, art, music, socialization), Wellness Recovery Action Planning courses (WRAP), arts empowerment with a weekly Art Buddies group, and peer mentoring. 

Certified Recovery Specialist and Peer Wellness Outreach Coordinator, Michelle Krack, makes weekly visits to Southwestern Behavioral’s Stepping Stone, Deaconess CrossPointe, St. Vincent, the mental health court program, and the Evansville State Hospital to tell her inspiring recovery story and provide information about Peace Zone to the public.  Certified Recovery Specialist, Lisa Cheatem, facilitates routine conversations and guidance to peers in need of recovery support.  According to Program Coordinator and Office Manager, Evan Plock, the ever-present goal of Peace Zone is to help individuals achieve their full potential in their recovery journey, to provide a welcoming sense of community, to inspire members to participate in recovery programs and to educate the public and decrease the stigma surrounding mental health issues. 

Peace Zone is open Mondays 9 AM – 2 PM, Tuesdays noon-4 PM, Wednesdays & Thursdays 9 AM-4 PM.  Monetary donations are accepted via PayPal/mail (please make checks payable to Peace Zone, Inc.).  Peace Zone is currently raising funds to purchase new vending machines and update the computer lab.

Aces earned road wins at Valparaiso and UIC

 

  1. LOUIS – On the heels of a weekend that saw the University of Evansville volleyball team earn a pair of road victories, two of its players were recognized by the Missouri Valley Conference on Monday.

Alondra Vazquez garnered the league’s Player of the Week award while Kora Ruff was touted as the Freshman of the Week.  Vazquez earned Player of the Week recognition for the fifth time in her career while Ruff earned the freshman nod for the first time.

In a weekend where her performance could not have been more important, Vazquez averaged 4.75 kills and 3.75 digs per set while helping UE earn road victories at Valparaiso and UIC.  The matches were pivotal as UE looks to improve its spot in the league standings as the season hits the homestretch.

Vazquez opened the weekend with 19 digs and 24 kills in a 3-1 triumph over the Beacons.  Her 24 digs was a season-high.  She added three assists and a block assist.  Saturday’s road win over the Flames saw Vazquez put forth another 19-kill effort while adding six digs, two aces and an assist.  She hit .349 in the victory.

Eagles Welcome Tommies for Final Home Match​​​​​​​

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Men’s Soccer finishes their home season on Wednesday, November 2, as they host St. Thomas University at Strassweg Field for a 2pm kickoff. The Screaming Eagles are currently 1-11-3, 1-4-1 Summit League, and finish their season on the road in Tulsa, Oklahoma to take on Oral Roberts University on November 5 at 1pm.
 
USI and Western Illinois University fought to a tough 1-1 draw on October 26. Both defenses were stellar in the first half. The Eagles had a chance to take advantage of a hand ball inside the box which sent the Leathernecks down to 10 men. The Eagles weren’t able to convert on the penalty. Western Illinois then went down and took the lead. USI was able to equalize as sophomore Mical Hardtman (Hamilton Parrish, Bermuda) put a ball from a corner to the top of the box where graduate Nick Faddis (St. Louis, Missouri) controlled it and curled a beautiful ball into the bottom left-hand corner. USI had multiple chances to win the match, but the Western Illinois defense kept the Eagles at bay.
 
The Eagles have been trying to find their rhythm up front all year long. Coming into the season the man watch up front was junior Zach Barton (St. Louis, Missouri). Barton came into the season with 20 career goals and sat tied for 10th all-time at USI and was looking to climb the rankings. He has just one goal on the year but is leading the team in shots and shots on goal with 21 and 13. Newcomer Faddis is leading the team in goals with three while senior Ryan Nevins (St. Peters, Missouri) and sophomore Sam Benoist (Foristell, Missouri) each have two.
 
USI Head Coach Mat Santoro has been very consistent with his starting lineups this season. Santoro has eight outfield players that have double digit starts this season and four of those have started every game they have played. Faddis and senior Colten Walsh (St. Louis, Missouri) have started all 15 games while Walsh has the most minutes played with 1249. Freshmen Will Kirchhofer (Fishers, Indiana) and Ednilson Voiles (Jeremie, Haiti) are the other two who have started every game they have played, both have played and started in 14 games. Kirchhofer missed the Western Illinois match due to suspension after receiving a double yellow card against Lindenwood University while Voiles missed the match with Chicago State University.
 
Junior goalkeeper Alec Meissner (St. Charles, Missouri) has been the main man in net for the Ealges. Meissner has started 14 out of the teams 15 games. Meissner has allowed 32 goals this season while making 64 saves and has faced 205 shots. Meissner was the man in net when USI has their lone clean sheet of the season at the University of Evansville. The Eagle’s defense has allowed two or less goals in 10 out of the 15 matches. This has come from a very consistent backline of Walsh, junior Travis Sides (Evansville, Indiana), and sophomore Damian McGregor-Wickham (Toronto, Canada). The USI defense has also seen starts from Hardtman, sophomore Aevar Ofjord (Grindavik, Iceland), senior Luke Lindsay (Plymouth, Minnesota), and junior Marky Lara (Evansville, Indiana).
