We provide psychiatric treatment to children and adolescents. We have 88 beds for boys and girls, ages 3-17. Model representations of real patients are shown.
Inpatient – our Inpatient care provides a safe, nurturing and comfortable setting for patients seeking acute care. MISA/Dual Diagnosis – we offer specialized programming for our Inpatient adolescents who are seeking treatment for mental health and substance abuse disorders. Partial Hospitalization – we offer intensive and structured treatment similar to the Inpatient program, but your child is able to continue working on their treatment in the family and community setting. This is often a step down program for those who no longer meet the criteria for our Inpatient unit. Outpatient – we offer therapy provided by Bachelors and Masters level professionals who will help your child with individual treatment plans to address any social, school, community and family issues.

The holidays don't feel joyful for everyone - and that's okay. 💙 In this episode of Clinically Yours, Lincoln Prairie therapist, Megan, talks about 'Season's Feelings' and why it's normal to feel overwhelmed, sad, or disconnected during this time of year and ways to take care of your mental health this season. Tune in 🎧
You're not alone - and support is closer than you think. If you know a youth who needs help, we're just a conversation away. Call us at 217-585-1180 - we're here to listen.

Grateful for the chance to celebrate the season with the awesome team who shows up every day for our patients and each other. 🎄✨Here's a recap with some highlights from our holiday work party!

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is more than just the “winter blues.” It is a specific kind of major depressive disorder in which the symptoms present with a “seasonal pattern.” For kids with SAD, the onset of a depressive episode occurs repeatedly at a particular time of the year, such as winter. When the season changes, the symptoms most often subside.
If your child is struggling, remember-- you are not alone. Our team is here to help with high-quality care and treatment options. Call us today for a no-cost assessment at 217-585-1180.

🧑🎄 During recreational therapy, our kids created Christmas ornaments donated by Abby from our Business Office! 🌲 ✨ Their hand painted ornaments are now proudly displayed on a tree outside our cafeteria for everyone to enjoy - especially the kids who made them. Moments like these make the season extra special. Special thanks to our rec team, Kathryn and Jalisa, for leading this activity and helping bring the kids creativity to life. 🎨
