IKRON Corporation
IKRON (Integration of Knowledge and Resources for Occupational Needs) was founded in 1969 as the University of Cincinnati Rehabilitation Center. In 1983, the Center went private, and with help from community members, two professors purchased the building housing the vocational program from the University of Cincinnati, changing its name to IKRON.
Today, IKRON provides mental health, vocational, and substance abuse services to youth and adults with severe mental illness. Over 90 referral sources count on IKRON to help nearly 1,400 individuals annually.

We place a strong emphasis on respect and support in a home-like environment that nurtures individual growth, cultivates mental and physical wellness, and provides opportunities for individuals to achieve their goals.
