Silver Oaks Behavioral Hospital, New Lenox, IL (2026)

04/01/2026

This month, Silver Oaks Behavioral Hospital is recognizing Stress Awareness Month and Alcohol Awareness Month—two important topics that often intersect in ways we don’t always talk about.

Stress is something we all experience, but when it becomes overwhelming, it can impact our mental and physical health. At the same time, some individuals may turn to alcohol as a way to cope, which can create additional challenges over time.

Throughout April, we’ll be sharing education, resources, and supportive tips to help you better understand both and take steps toward healthier coping.

If you or a loved one may need support, Silver Oaks offers free, confidential assessments to help guide you toward the right level of care. Our services include inpatient treatment, outpatient programs, and specialized care for adolescents and adults.

You’re not alone. Support is always within reach.

As we wrap up Patient Safety Awareness Week, we want to recognize a group whose work helps ensure our staff are prepared to support patients safely and compassionately every day.

Today’s spotlight is on our Crisis Prevention & Intervention (CPI) Instructors: Polo, Randi, and Nick.

CPI training plays a vital role in maintaining a safe environment for both patients and staff. Through this program, team members learn how to recognize early signs of distress, use verbal de-escalation techniques, and respond to challenging situations in a way that prioritizes care, welfare, safety, and security for everyone involved.

Polo, Randi, and Nick dedicate their time to training and supporting staff across the hospital, helping ensure that our team has the skills and confidence needed to manage difficult situations calmly and effectively. Their leadership helps foster a culture where prevention, communication, and teamwork are always the first approach.

Throughout this week, we’ve highlighted team members from across departments who demonstrate how we Team Up for Patient Safety every day. From clinical care and environmental safety to communication and collaboration, patient safety is truly a shared responsibility.

As Patient Safety Awareness Week comes to a close, we want to thank every member of our Silver Oaks team for the role they play in creating a safe, supportive environment for our patients and for each other. 💚

Continuing with Patient Safety Awareness Week, today we are spotlighting John B., one of our Mental Health Technicians!

John supports patient safety by living out the principles of care, welfare, safety, and security. He works to create a calm and supportive environment by helping patients get a good night’s rest, de-escalating situations when needed, and ensuring the milieu remains safe by removing potentially harmful items from patient areas.

He also encourages patients to be active participants in their treatment by reminding them that recovery works best when they are honest with themselves and with the treatment team. John emphasizes the importance of practicing the coping skills they learn so they can continue using them successfully after leaving the program.

Looking ahead, John plans to continue strengthening collaboration by communicating with the care team about both positive and challenging patient interactions. Sharing these observations helps the team better understand patient progress and provide the most supportive care possible.

✨ “My favorite part about working at Silver Oaks is seeing when a patient truly gets it and begins to turn their behavior around. Sometimes they even start helping calm their peers the way staff once helped them. That gives me big smiles in my heart.”
