WELCOME TO INDIANA PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION

OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH THE NOBLESVILLE COMMUNITY
The Indiana Psychological Association offers its thoughts and support to the students, families, teachers, and staff from Noblesville West Middle School and surrounding communities.  These are difficult times and many of us struggle with how to help our children cope and make sense of such tragedies.
