Art can be used to explore feelings, reduce anxiety, and resolve trauma in ways that traditional talk therapy may not reach. Art Therapy utilizes the creative process, art making, and applied psychological theory to improve physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

If you would like to help support our art therapy and PSR programs, an Amazon wish list with items needed is attached below. Your gift, large or small would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for helping us help others!

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is real. Sometimes it's just the "winter blues." But sometimes it is more than that. If you would like to talk about it, we have wonderful counselors on staff. Give us a call.

And remember......spring will be here soon.

Empowering people to improve Health and Wellness

Heartland Human Services is the result of the efforts of a caring and concerned community. In the 1960s, community leaders realized counseling services for mental illness and addictions treatment were lacking in rural areas.

The State of Illinois made a commitment to help communities improve their quality of life by establishing a tax levy for the support of mental health services and addictions treatment. Effingham county leaders and voters were farsighted enough to pass such a tax levy by referendum in 1969, thus providing funding for community based behavioral healthcare services. In 1970 a non-profit corporation was established under the directorship of a local board of directors to oversee the development of a full continuum of behavioral healthcare services. They named this new entity the Effingham County Mental Health Center.

Over the years Heartland Human Services has changed names and grown from its simple beginnings to provide a broad array of behavioral healthcare services. Heartland Human Services receives funding from a wide variety of state and federal sources and is accredited by The Joint Commission.
