Gibault was founded in 1921 by the Indiana Knights of Columbus as a home for wayward boys. Over the years, Gibault has evolved to meet the ever-changing needs of troubled kids everywhere. Today, Gibault serves boys and girls and has provided life-changing opportunities for more than 8,600 children and their families. Gibault serves children with mild emotional disturbances, aggressive and oppositional behaviors, substance abuse issues, victims and perpetrators of physical and sexual abuse, learning disabled children, and children with a variety of clinical issues in residential and detention environments. We also operate child care, after-school, Court Appointed Special Advocate, and foster care programs throughout the State of Indiana. Gibault makes our homes and communities safer by involving these distressed children in comprehensive programming that addresses their educational, emotional, social, recreational and spiritual needs. Gibault's Mission Gibault provides life-changing opportunities for children, families, and communities. Gibault's Vision
A world where the social, physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual needs of children, adults, families and communities are met. Gibault's Growth & Progress Over the years, Gibault has changed physically and programmatically to accommodate the ever-changing needs of troubled youth. From its early beginnings on the Fred B. Smith estate just south of Terre Haute, Gibault has grown to become a sprawling 360-acre campus and employs more than 200 full and part time staff. Gibault has expanded its services not only to delinquent males, but also to sex abusers and females. Gibault also developed a day treatment program, as well as emergency and respite care programs. In 2004, Gibault continued to increase its continuum of care by providing programming for children affected by Asperger Syndrome. The summer of 2005 saw the opening of the PRTF (Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility) unit.
Gibault also has a campus in Springfield, OH at the site of the former Clark County Children's Home, group homes in Shelbyville, IN and in the Fall of 2008 Jasper County Youth Center became a part of Gibault.
Gibault provides life-changing opportunities for children, families and communities. The continuing excellence of Gibault is made possible by the generosity of the Indiana Knights of Columbus and Gibault's donor family - thousands of people who care deeply about the troubled children Gibault serves.
